Butterfield bought a boat, Bobbing Brazil, he did float, But behold, a big wave hit, Butterfield lost his sunlit hat. Butterfield was not defeated, Bare-headed, he almost retreated, But he quickly grabbed a bucket, Balancing it with a biscuit. Butterfield sailed with great speed, Bouncing over the waves, indeed, Butterflies saw him from afar, Befuddled by his buttery charm. Butterfield, the buoyant boatman, Boldly bragged of his butter plan, But bringing butter on a boat, Brought bumbling seagulls, precocious and rote. Butterfield battled those birds, Barking, bellowing bizarre words, Butter-free, he finally sailed away, Bidding goodbye to Brazil one day. Butterfield, the brave and bright, Brought laughter, joy, and sheer delight, Beneath the sky of endless blue, Butterfield's adventure, a tale that's true!
