Better Botter boycotts butter

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,
Better that I boycott butter
Than I make my batter bitter."
Though a bit of better butter
Would have made her batter better
Betty boycotted the butter
Such a bitter Betty Botter!
