I tripped over a couple of these. Tough even for native speakers of English. As the source of this tongue twister states: If you can pronounce correctly every word in this poem, you will be speaking English better than 90% of the native English speakers in the world.
Happy weekend (those of us in the U.S. will be off on Monday, giving us a three day weekend).

“I’m amazed at how much my writing is improved when I step away from the computer, even in small amounts. If I’m stuck, I vacuum the living room or walk the dog. I’m amazed at what comes out of that… We have to realize that part of the writing life where we’re sitting down at the computer is harvesting the crops, but you have to have planted them and watered them and created fertile soil – and that’s a life.”
— Donald Miller
