Tongue twisters were developed as practical tools to train speech, but many people like them because they are fun. The original creator of a tongue twister is normally unknown; except for the one by Espy below, I don't know who originally created these.
If you want, I'm sure you can find more tongue twisters on internet - in different languages. What follows here is just a small selection to illustrate the concept.
Most tongue twisters make use of alliteration, although they have nothing to do with poetry. However, I will first give brief explanation of alliteration, which - on a global level - is more common in poetry than rhyming.
