Who'd heed 'hood HUD head had hoed, hawed, & hid his hod?

I just made this up:
Who'd heed 'hood HUD head had hoed, hawed, & hid his hod?
(Did I miss any verbs?)
Paraphrase of the sentence:
Who'd care that the local HUD chairman had used hoe, mumbled, and hid his coal-container?
Is there a famous sentence like that?
Kind of like "Quick brown fox ...lazy dog"?

Do you Yahoo!?

Assuming you want every vowel sound including diphthongs, you're missing "hide" and "haid" (Charles Haid, American actor, best known for role in "Hill Street Blues") and "hewed." And maybe a couple more I have

Is "haid" a verb too? I know of "hayed".

No one paid him any heed. So he hid his hod.

In "Our Language", Simeon Potter has a go, using initial (b) and final (d), at covering the pure vowels and diphthongs in RP. He comes close to covering them all.
