I would like to add more...........:-)

22. I saw Susie sitting in a shoe shine shop.
      Where she sits she shines, and where she shines she sits.

23. Denise sees the fleece,
      Denise sees the fleas.
      At least Denise could sneeze
     and feed and freeze the fleas.

24. Sheena leads, Sheila needs.

25. Luke Luck likes lakes.
      Luke's duck likes lakes.
      Luke Luck licks lakes.
      Luck's duck licks lakes.
      Duck takes licks in lakes Luke Luck likes.
      Luke Luck takes licks in lakes duck likes.
   
(from Dr. Seuss' Fox in Socks)

26. I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

Regards,
