Betty Botter, for SOCS

The SOCS prompt is: batter/better/bitter/butter and although I know it
breaks the rules, I can’t resist reciting an old childhood tongue-twister:

Betty Botter bought a bit of bitter butter.
“But,” she said, “this butter’s bitter.
I can’t put it in my batter, 
for if I put it in my batter,
it will make my batter bitter,
but if I buy some better butter,
it will make my batter better!”
So Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter
and made her batter better.
