In college, I had an instructor of Chinese descent who demonstrated how the language depended on intonation by reciting a poem about a stone lion. It was one word, repeated with different intonations.

I knew about the two chickens in the garden, but I haven't figured out how to parse the hads.

Wenn hinter Fliegen fliegen Fliegen, Fliegen fliegen Fliegen nach.

Been a while, I probably screwed up the capitalization.

I was just listing ones I knew about, plus the new English ones I hadn't previously. ^_^

I learned something similar in German once:

Wenn die Damen in Baden Baden baden baden Baden Baden Männer auch.

With more proper punctuation:

Wenn die Damen in Baden-Baden baden, baden Baden-Baden Männer auch.

Or in English:

"When the women in Baden-Baden bathe, Baden-Baden men bathe too."
