I like alliteration. That's when you employ several same sounding sentences in succession. It's sounds funny, and I believe that professional grammarians are warming up to it too.
At the same time I'm also fond of Spoonerisms. They're the famous phrases made popular through the Reverend William Spooner, where you juxtapose two sounds in a sentence. A classic example is when a teacher admonished a student, "You hissed my mystery lecture!"
Alliteration and spoonerisms are so much fun that perhaps we can combine them. Something like: "Oh, no, I'm speaking in spoonerisms! What a sad sight to see!"
Maybe? No?
