Gertrude, could you hand me a plane?

Gertrude, could you hand me a plane?
No, not that kind of plane, though I am intrigued that you have that handy –
If that were the kind of plane I need, that one would probably be much too small, though –
Yes, now that is the kind of plane I need.
Soon I will need a level.
Yes, it is level, but that is not the kind of level I am talking about.
It is a beautiful foundation.
Yes, they both are.
