Betty Botter

bought some butter.

"But," she said,

"the butter's bitter.

If I put it

in my batter,

it will make

my batter bitter.

But a bit

of better butter--

that would make

my batter better."

So she bought

a bit of butter,

better than

her bitter butter.

And she put it

in her batter,

and the batter

was not bitter.

So 'twas better

Betty Botter

bought a bit

of better butter!
