I am a bat
I flutter about this and that
I am a bet
You will lose more than you get
I am a bit
The last straw before the fit
I am a bot
But I'm not the droid you've sought
I am a butt
Without if or and, I follow my gut
.
I am batter
Kneaded to make you fatter
I've gotten better
When churned to get less wetter
I've gotten bitter
When made by a counterfeiter
I wonder if botter
Is really a word that's hotter
Than the sweet, salted butter
That changes with the vowel you utter
.
Batter-sweat and bittersweet
Bladder wet and indiscrete
Move your vowels carefully
Lest you get too awfully

Love your fun and entertaining poem!!!💕❤️❤️
Lol. The title alone is enough to make you click on the story.
Always clever!
Well-wrought!
Clever little spin....as usual.
HAHAHA, I LOVE a play on words, this did not disappoint
haha. That was fun.
Talk about having fun with language, Gerard! Loved your poem and Vowel Movement is a hilarious title! You even have a Star Wars reference! The last two lines are a hoot!
Excellent wordplay!
