And Mr. Soar owned a seesaw.

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

With her three-toed power
The she-toad vetoed him.

To light night-lights with their slight lights
On a light night like tonight.

For the twisting of his twist, he three twines doth intwist;
But if one of the twines of the twist do untwist,
The twine that untwisteth untwisteth the twist.

As twines were intwisted he now doth untwine;
Twist the twain inter-twisting a twine more between,
He, twirling his twister, makes a twist of the twine.
