Tongue Twister / Trabalenguas

For some reason I'm finding it difficult to remember lots of cor-/car- words so thought I'd write this little 'tongue twister' for amusement & to try & help myself remember them.

Please correct my Spanish & suggest any more fun tongue twisters that you know.

El cartero lleva su cartera en la carretera con la correa en el hombro deseando una carreta para este hombre de correo porque es su carrera y lo que lleva leva pesado en el pobre hombro del hombre.

oooh I hate this tongue twister because is about my name and they used to tell me this all the time when I was a child (there are those who still tell me it ) :D

Pablito clavó un clavito, ¿qué clavito clavó Pablito?, el clavito que Pablito clavó, era el clavito de Pablito.

And one to help with rolling Rs:
