《石室诗士施氏》
石室诗士施氏，嗜狮，誓食十狮。施氏时时适市视狮。十时，适十狮适市。是时，适施氏适市。氏视是十狮，恃矢势，使是十狮逝世。氏拾是十狮尸，适石室。石室湿，氏使侍拭石室。石室拭，氏始试食是十狮尸。食时，始识是十狮尸，实十石狮尸。试释是事.
All words sound like "shi" but with a different tone. The poem is about a person eating his favorite which is lions. There, I just read it to myself. can't help but giggle a bit. Here's another one:
《羿裔熠邑彝》
羿裔熠，邑彝，义医，艺诣。熠姨遗一裔伊，伊仪迤，衣旖，异奕矣。 熠意伊矣，易衣以贻伊，伊遗衣，衣异衣以意异熠，熠抑矣。伊驿邑，弋一翳，弈毅。毅仪奕，诣弈，衣异，意逸。毅诣伊，益伊，伊怡，已臆毅矣，毅亦怡伊。翌，伊亦弈毅。毅以蜴贻伊，伊亦贻衣以毅。伊疫，呓毅，癔异矣，倚椅咿咿，毅亦咿咿。 毅诣熠，意以熠，议熠医伊，熠懿毅，意役毅逸。毅以熠宜伊，翼逸。熠驿邑以医伊，疑伊胰痍，以蚁医伊，伊遗异，溢，伊咦。熠移伊，刈薏以医，伊益矣。伊忆毅，亦呓毅矣，熠意伊毅已逸，熠意役伊。伊异，噫，缢。熠癔，亦缢。
The whole thing is pronounced "yi". The story is about a direct descendant of a mythical ancestor who lived when the earth was still forming and there were 10 suns. This mythical ancestor shot down 9 of them so that earth is inhabitable by his descendants.

Anyways, I'm off to find a book on this subject, (here's one ISBN:9787500470199同音文海宝韵合编整理与研究) And apparently there are English one's as well, tho less tongue twisty than Chinese versions:
No cool monsoons blow soft on Oxford dons, Orthodox, jog-trot, book-worm Solomons
