Scrabbling For Words

I'm down to my last tiles, I got a T an I and E
also O, N, A and L but words are beyond me
I could try NITE or NOEL or even NOTE or LOAN
I know I need to use more tiles but no word sets the TONE
My challenger is winning, I cannot let this be
But all I see before me is LANE, LATE and ANTI
Imagine my ELATION after such delay and lag
I put my letters down and pulled TOENAIL out the bag
