The improv group I was in for a while in college used this as an enunciation exercise.
To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock,
In a pestilential prison, with a life-long lock,
Awaiting the sensation of a short sharp shock,
From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block!
-- W.S. Gilbert, The Mikado
