Or alternatively -

Peg is another name for Margaret
Kit is another name for Kathleen

Jack is another name for John

ANS: Dried fish by any name at all should be flushed down the toilet.

Ignis Fatuus - The 'will o the wisp' or 'Friar's lonthorn', a flame-like phosphorescence flitting over marshy ground (due to the spontaneous combustion of gases from decaying vegetable matter), and deluding people who attempt to follow it; hence any delusive aim or object, some Utopian scheme that is utterly impracticable. The name means 'a foolish fire' and is also called 'Elf-fire', 'Jack o'lantern', 'Peg-a-lantern', 'Kit o' the canstick', 'Spunkie', 'Walking Fire', 'Fair Maid of Ireland', 'John in the Wad'.

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

Well done udosuk - That was too easy, I'll have to find something harder

I think somebody else will actually claim that he/she answered first in touch...
... and deserve a gold medal or such...
... which frankly I don't care much...

I know you’re smart at Sudoku
though your poetry’s not so hot
but I’d give you a medal
for giving it a shot
