Betty Botta bought some butter;
“But,” said she, “this butter’s bitter!
If I put it in my batter
It will make my batter bitter.
But a bit o’ better butter
Will but make my batter better.”
Then she bought a bit o’ butter
Better than the bitter butter,
Made her bitter batter better.
So ’twas better Betty Botta
Bought a bit o’ better butter.
i think i haven't heard that in 30 years or something. totally forgot about it! my brain has a funny feeling now
Same. I don't even remember where I read it, but when I saw "bad butter," it came back to me. And I looked it up, of course.
Huh, that's a lot longer that the version I knew growing up:
"Betty bought some butter, but the butter Betty bought was bitter
So Betty bought some better butter, better than the bitter butter Betty bought before"
