It's difficult to say what my wife does – she sells sea shells on the sea shore.

Like most wives, she appears to be quite contrary.

No! The contrariness happens once we marry them. The rhyme is just a warning we all ignored.
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

My friend Betty bought a bit of butter;
“But,” she said, “this butter's bitter!
If I put it in my batter
It will make my batter bitter.
But a bit o’ better butter
Will but make my batter better.”
Then she bought a bit o’ butter
Better than the bitter butter,
Made her bitter batter better.
So ’twas better Betty Botter
Bought a bit o’ better butter
(Original by Carolyn Wells, 1899)

Woah! ...never seen that version before - much more interesting than the short one I knew on the same theme:
"Betty bought a bit o' butter
but she found the butter bitter
so Betty bought a better bit o' butter
to make the bitter butter better"
...have to learn that one now!

The PHB is correct - it's all in the way that you look at it.

As is cooking -- just add the stuff together and off you go.

Ah, but putting them in the correct order is the difficult part.

... and it was joyous! It took me straight back to my childhood. 
I have one of those clock-radios that doesn't know about weekends - and, mostly, it's pretty annoying. For some reason 6Music seem to think it's 'appropriate' to be playing heavy metal/punk rock/pulsating dance music/etc. at 6:30 am on a Saturday & Sunday. But yesterday we got this:
The Friends Of Distinction "Grazing In The Grass" on The Ed Sullivan Show - YouTube[^]
This has to be one of the most uplifting songs, ever!

I guess you have to be 'of a certain age'! For me, 1968/69 was when pop music peaked.

Hendrix, Cream, Led Zep, (the real) Fleetwood Mac. Those were the days.

Being a guitar player, and having eclectic tastes, I couldn't agree more. I think you left out Van Morrison, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Zombies, Argent, America, Neil Young, Buffalo Springfield, CSNY, Bad Company, Jackson Brown and many others. Of course the Beatles, Jefferson Airplane, the Rolling Stones, Smith, the Doobie Brothers, Gladys Knight and the Pips, the Four Tops, Todd Rundgren, Hall and Oates, Carol King, Joe Cocker, Spirit, ACDC, Aretha Franklin, and Steely Dan.
I could go on, but I need to get to work.

It was a great time for music - and, yes, I left out a lot. Here's a few more: The Who, The Kinks, The Beach Boys, Simon & Garfunkel, The Small Faces, Pink Floyd, Traffic....

Can't believe that I left them out!

The real Fleetwood Mac used to play in one of my local pubs in Chertsey along with the likes of John Mayall, Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton etc etc... - great days

I envy you. Did Long John Baldry ever make it there?
