There was a young man who liked horse douvers,
He served them one day to some Norse movers.
Said the Vikings to him,
"What is this crap, slim?"

My favorite from memory:
Big fleas have little fleas
Who ride on them and bite em.
And little fleas have littler fleas
And so ad infinitum.
On edit: just remembered an hilarious scene from All in the Family, where Archie pronounced them as horse ovaries.
