(    ) Betty Botter by Mother Goose

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, but a bit of better butter will make my batter better.

So she bought a bit of butter better than her bitter butter, and

she put it in her batter and the batter was not bitter. So ’twas better Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter.

Lie beneath a spreading tree

With golden flowers in the sun.

Count to fie on all the petals,

Wat"h the building#"rammed hori$on,Sky no longer meeting ground.

Wat"h the golden flowers wither 

Wat"h the golden dreams fall down.
