An Ode to Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans

by Barefoot XO

Haven't you ever wondered if the Wizarding world ever put advertisements in the Daily Prophet for Bertie Botts? Well, if you didn't, here is my conception of it.

I don't own Harry Potter… J.K. Rowling does…

An Ode to Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans

Earwax, or toejam
Beef or cheese
It could be a toffee
or salt if you please

There's never a certainty
There's always a doubt
You must taste it to know it
Not look with out

Bertie Botts
Every Flavour Beans
A brand new adventure
A hope, a dream

Bertie Botts
Every Flavour Beans
The start of a nightmare
A howl, a scream

What once was a mint
Of so it seemed
Turned out to be grass
That's why it's green

The brown one you dared
Not a bite to take
Would have melted in your mouth
Like a chocolate cake

Bertie Botts
Every Flavour Beans
A brand new adventure
A hope, a dream

Bertie Botts
Every Flavour Beans
The start of a nightmare
A howl, a scream

You tossed them out
Oh what a waste
You lack for courage
If you won't have a taste

You'll never, ever know
What they have in store
And the ones who dare eat them
Are true Gryffindors!!!

Bertie Botts
Every Flavour Beans
A brand new adventure
A hope, a dream

Bertie Botts
Every Flavour Beans
The start of a nightmare
A howl, a scream
