You've no need to light a night-light
On a light night like tonight,
For a night-light's light's a slight light,
And tonight's a night that's light.
When a night's light, like tonight's light,
It is really not quite right
To light night-lights with their slight lights
On a light night like tonight.

Ed Nott was shot and Sam Shott was not.

So it is better to be Shott than Nott.
Some say Nott was not shot. But Shott says he shot Nott.
Either the shot Shott shot at Nott was not shot, or Nott was shot.

But if the shot Shott shot shot Shott, the shot was Shott, not Nott.

But it was sad to see Soar so sore
Just because See's saw sawed
