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.
If the shot Shott shot shot Nott, Nott was shot.
But if the shot Shott shot shot Shott, the shot was Shott,
not Nott.
However, the shot Shott shot shot not Shott - but Nott.
So, Ed Nott was shot and that's hot! Is it not?

There dwelt a bear, also a boar.

And so one morn he bored the boar
That boar will bore the bear no more.

Mr. See owned a saw and Mr. Soar owned a seesaw.

Now See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw before Soar saw See,

Had Soar seen See's saw before See sawed Soar's seesaw,
See's saw would not have sawed Soar's seesaw.
So See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw.
But it was sad to see Soar so sore just because See's saw
sawed Soar's seesaw!

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.

Caterpillar catnapping, caught in cocoon
Silently sleeping, seeking sunlit sky
Awake, aware, and awing at atmosphere
Last leaving his lodging, little larva leaps
Spreading his sprouting wings, sailing so skillfully
Wandering with wonder of the whirling world
Lost amid light lilies, he lies
Illuminated in indigo, imagination stirs
Dreams of dancing delightfully in daffodils
Moon moves beneath massive mountains
Sun slides into celestial ceiling
Beautiful butterfly so bubbly and bouncing
Colorful and cleverly casting his charm.
