OLD BETTY BOTTA
Betty Botta bought some butter.
“But,” said she, “this butter is bitter.
If I put it in my batter, it will make
my batter bitter…but a bit of better
butter will make my batter better.”
So she bought a bit of better butter,
better than the bitter butter and
made her bitter batter better...So
‘twas better Betty Botta bought a
bit of better butter!

RHYME
I Had a Hippopotamus… (A-A-B-B)
I had a Hippopotamus, I kept him in a shed
And f ed him upon vitamins and vegetable bread
I made him my companion on many cheery walks
And had his portrait done by a celebrity in chalks
His charming eccentricities were known on every side
The creatures' popularity was wonderfully wide
He f rolicked with the Rector in a dozen f riendly tussles
Who could not but remark on his hippopotamuscles
I f he should be aff ected by depression or the dumps By hippopotameasles or the hippopotamumps
I never knew a particle of peace ' till it was plain He was hippopotamasticating properly again
I had a Hippopotamus, I loved him as a f riend
But beautif ul relationships are bound to have an end Time takes alas our joys f rom us and rids us of our blisses
My hippopotamus f ound a hippopotamisses…
