Here it is:

One hen, two ducks, three squawking geese, four corpulent porpoises, five Limerick oysters, 6 pairs of Don Alberzo's tweezers...7000 Macedonians in full battle array. 8 brass monkeys from the ancient sacred crypts of Egypt, 9 apathetic sympathetic diabetical men on roller saktes with a marked propensity for procrastination and sloth. 10 lyrical, shperical, diabolical denizens of the deep who all...stall around the corner of the quo of the quay of the queasy at the very same time.  Toot, toot.
