"You were a . . . military man, weren't you, Fred?" said Carrot, as the parade passed by.

"Yes, sir. Duke of Eorle's First Heavy Infantry, sir. The Pheasant Pluckers."

"Pardon?" said Angua.

"Nickname for the regiment, miss. . . . "

"We even had a marching song," he said. "Mind you, it was quite hard to sing right."

(From Jingo, by Terry Pratchett)

Another one you have to be careful of when you say:

She slit the sheet
The sheet she slit
And on the slitted sheet she sits

I always found the hardest one for me to be "The Leeth police dismisseth us". Similar to the sick sheik's sheep one.

On the other hand, I always found the easiest to be "A proper cup of coffee from a proper copper coffee pot", but others seemed to have trouble with it.

My favorite is the Dr. Seuss book Fox in Socks.
