Here is my compliment tongue twister using the American tool name: wrench:
A
wench
on a bench
with a wrench
left a stench.
Sniff it we did
‘n hid
the bench
with the stench
of the wrench
from the wench.

Harrumpf!
Harangue!
A rump that stang.
It stung
and stank;
It drank
the dank
dew
that stuck
its sticky slime
to mine.
Harrumpf!

Harrumph said the teacher when the student shook and stuttered;
Harrumph said the gentlemen to the lady of the night.
Harrumph said the PhD to artisans and plumbers;
Harrumph said the ballet diva to rappers in the street.
Enough said St Peter at the pearly gates above;
Enough harrumphs forever for those who enter here.

Please listen to the magic pauses and the deep feeling with which Jimmy Stewart reads his poem to his dead dog on the Johnny Carson Show in 1981.
Do you have to be an actor to express this much feeling with your voice?
Note the way Stewart focuses despite the joking of Johnny and the laughter of the audience.

tick tock click clock
Time stands still:look back-look fo’ward.
Spot the growth; the buds bloom toward
A new mystique, a magic journey
Dappled vision-rainbow gurney.
Spot the growth; the buds bloom toward
Dance and cello,theater, swimming
Biking, driving, childish dimming.
A new mystique, a magic journey
Drops of feeling: wet tips warming
Thoughts that generate to seedlings.
Dappled vision-rainbow gurney
Squeaking through the halls of choices
Spotlights pointed by the voices
Family beacons
Family sages
My own galaxy!

“You’re too bright for me! I’m just a baby!”
“Just because I’m in the dark, doesn’t mean you get to be on top all the time!”
“Black and white movies in my eyes: before the talkies came calling…”
My eyes
are not for you to see;
but me to be
a she or he:
a dark-eyed
mystery.
