I'm not the pheasant plucker,
I'm the pheasant plucker's mate,
And I'm only plucking pheasants
'Cause the pheasant plucker's late.

I'm not the pheasant plucker,
I'm the pheasant plucker's son,
And I'm only plucking pheasants,
Till the pheasant pluckers come.

Do you pronounce the 'k' or are they technically a silent letter?

A bit basic but "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood" is always a good one!

Technically not the traditional tongue twister but the country I live in (Wales, UK) boasts the second longest place name in the world (number one is held by New Zealand).

Anyway it's Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

I'll try to write it in a way that non Welsh speakers can actually pronounce it (kinda).

Lan. Fire. Po. Prin. Geth. Gore. Gare. Ith. Win. Drawboard. Lanta. Silio. Go. Go. Goch.

I had a speach impediment as a child. My mom would listen to books on tape. Stephen King used that with a character. It worked for me.

a blubbering blubber blueberry is a blueberry that has much blubber, but blueberries bail on banishing their blubber, thus blueberries are blubbering bailers with much blubber. (blubber means fat)
