How much code would a codegolf golf if a codegolf could golf code?
Python 3, 70 67 bytes



"How much {0} would a {0}{1} {1} if a {0}{1} could {1} {0}?".format


Try it online!

I mean, if the shoe fits..

Thanks to manatwork for catching a typo

Thanks to Remco Haszing for the excellent -3 bytes idea

I am running off of the assumption that this would still be a valid submission (because man, it's too cool not to try). If OP could clarify whether this is acceptable (because I haven't written a function, per se), that would be appreciated.

Update: Blessing received, all is good :)



Previous version:

lambda a,b:f"How much {a} would a {a+b} {b} if a {a+b} could {b} {a}?"
