Betty / Botter / bought a / bit of / butter
But the / butter / was / bitter
So she / bought a / better / butter
And she / made the / butter / better



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_Botter

"Betty Botter" has some variations, but most are very similar. A common one is:

Betty Botter bought a bit of 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 better butter,
Better than her bitter butter,
And she put it in her bitter batter,
And the batter was not bitter;
So 'twas better Betty Botter
Bought a bit of better butter.
