Construction
The construction is based on alliteration, using four words in the English language which begin with "B" and end in "-ter" (batter, better, bitter, and butter). The surname Botter (which sounds like the phrase "bought a") is used twice in the rhyme, thus allowing five English vowel sounds to be used in the "B-(vowel)-ter" pattern.

To find the minds construction in the face:

An absolute trust.”
