Betty Botter bought some butter

"but", she said, "the butter's bitter";

"If I put it in my butter, it will make my butter bitter

but a bit of better butter, that would will 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 butter was not bitter.

So It was better Betty Botter

bought a bit of better butter.
