Seems sort of ambiguous as to which quote you're closing - so many single quotes. Might be better with here document syntax, i.e.

Normal people scare me.

Normal people wearing <<SHIRTONE
Normal people scare me
SHIRTONE
shirts scare me

Normal people wearing <<SHIRTTWO
Normal people wearing <<SHIRTONE
Normal people scare me
SHIRTONE
shirts scare me
SHIRTTWO
shirts scare me

I guess I can't send you a PR but I made some minor improvements at https://gist.github.com/GregorStocks/d704dbabbe73f0e1331b4a06636cbf52 - quote alternation in the docstring and not shadowing n
