I seem to recall you gave me ‘buttery’

With which to make a verse

A word that rhymes with nowt but fluttery

Which might have raised a curse

Because butter’s just great as a thing

For biscuits and cats’ paws, it’s king

But the thing about butter

It simply don’t flutter

Or dance or take to the wing

So out of the air I shall pluck

A word that might just get you stuck

At your request

With wishes, the best

I give you tilecheiristiriophobia – good luck
