but, said she, the butter’s bitter.

put it in her bitter batter,
made her bitter batter better.

bought some better butter!

All I want is a proper cup of coffee,
Made in a proper copper coffee pot.

If I can't have a proper cup of coffee
in a proper copper coffee pot,
I'll have a cup of tea!

We'd love to hear from you.
