Almost everyone knows some version of the classic tale of Betty & her awful butter....
Betty Botter had some butter, "But," she said, "this butter's bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter, it would 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 baked it in her batter, and the batter was not bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter.
