a doctor gets sick and another doctor doctors him, does the
doctor doing the doctoring have to doctor the doctor the way the

to do the doctoring?

Mr.
See and Mr. Soar were old friends.
See owned a
saw and Soar owned a seesaw.
Now See's saw
sawed
Soar's seesaw
before Soar saw
See, which
made Soar sore.
Had Soar seen
See's saw before
See saw
Roar's seesaw, then
See's saw
would not have sawed Roar's seesaw.
But See saw
Roar's seesaw before
Soar saw
See's saw so See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw.
It was a
shame to let See see Soar so sore because
See's saw
sawed Soar's seesaw.

Betty
Botter had some butter,
"But," she said, "this butter's bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter,
It would make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter,
That would make my batter better."
So she bought a bit of butter -
Better than her bitter butter -
And she baked it in her batter;
And the batter was not bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Botter
Bought a bit of better butter.

Ned
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,
Then Shott was shot, not Nott.
However, the shot Shott shot shot not Shott, but Nott.

A
tree-toad loved a she-toad
Who lived up in a tree.
He was a two-toed tree-toad,
But a three-toed toad was she.
The two-toed tree-toad tried to win
The three-toed she-toad's heart,
For the two-toed tree-toad loved the ground
That the three-toed tree-toad trod.
But the two-toed tree-toad tried in vain;
He couldn't please her whim.
From her tree-toad bower,
With her three-toad power,
The she-toad vetoed him.

in the pasture the nature watcher watches the catcher. While the catcher
watches the pitcher who pitches the balls. Whether the temperature's up
or whether the temperature's down, the nature watcher, the catcher and

and the watcher watches. So whether the temperature's rises or whether
the temperature falls the nature watcher just watches the catcher who's
watching the pitcher who's watching the balls.
