That's what it's like to be X,

Said the letter Y.

 

But why, Y naught?

I thought but to whine ought.

 

Because there's a lot to allot, great scot-

An X that ain't ought is one big shot

Wouldn't it not?

 

But that thought,

I, who did thought

Wouldn't it not be ought

If we didn't think if that was ought

 

Y fought and vied hot,

But fought for I to buy ought:

Ain't there not

A spec of truth in every wide thought?

 

Between all that was sought,

That I did got.

Aye, I finally thought.

 

Man, fuck the two of you,

Said the letter X.
