Just for fun

Well, there was this tongue twister on my mind, but I found so many different versions of it, I didn't know which was the original, so I took and twisted and lengthened a little one of the versions I found. The result is below.
-------
There once was a man named Esau Wood. Esau Wood sawed wood. Esau Wood sawed wood with his wood-saw. Esau Wood always had sawed wood. Esau Wood always would saw wood. Sawing wood was what Esau Wood did. Sawing wood was what Esau Wood would always do. All the woods Esau Wood saw, Esau Wood would saw. Great was the wood Wood would saw and great was the wood-saw with which Wood would saw wood. Esau Wood and his wood-saw were legend.
-
But one terrible day, Wood's wood-saw would saw no wood, and so the wood Wood sawed was not the wood Wood would saw if Wood's wood-saw would saw wood. Wood was very sad, for his wood-saw would saw no wood. Finally, after many days of having a wood-saw that would saw no wood, Esau Wood saw a new saw saw wood like no other wood-saw Wood saw would saw wood. In fact, of all the wood-saws Wood ever saw saw wood, this wood-saw Wood saw would saw wood as if sawing wood was the only thing a wood-saw would do. So Wood sought to saw wood with the wood-saw Wood saw sawing wood like no other wood-saw would saw wood, and Wood did saw wood with the wood-saw he saw, and the wood sawing was good.
-
And I never saw a wood-saw that would saw wood as the wood-saw Wood saw would saw until I saw Esau Wood saw wood with wood-saw that would saw wood unlike any other wood-saw would saw wood. Now Wood saws wood with the wood saw Wood saw saw wood. And it is good.

Okay, now my brain hurts.
