the Butter Battle book by Dr Seuss

Butter side up

Be you wrong?

Be you right?

This side of the wall

Butter side up, flexes its might

The other side though,

Where folks look the same

The Crier runs through the town

You can hear him from here

Yelling BUTTER SIDE DOWN

We squabble and spat

Not over this, over that

But butter that’s better

Be it up be it down

We build bombs

Better bombs, over butter

So we shelter in fear

Our bombs always near

Alas, they have theirs too

So we’ll eat our butter

(side up of course)

And peek through the shutters

We know they can see us too
