A proper copper coffee pot.

Long legged ladies last longer.
Mixed biscuits, mixed biscuits, mixed biscuits, mixed
Pink lorry, yellow lorry.
We surely shall see the sun shine soon.
She sells, sea-shells at the sea-shore.
The sells she sells are sea-shells.
Chop shops stock chops.
Flee from flog to fight flu fast.
Good blood bad blood.
Please pay promptly.
