Sleeping on a Butterscotch Pillow

There once was a man who was tired
a butterscotch pillow he acquired
he loved the sweet scent
it made him content
In fact, he felt, his dreams were inspired

So each night he dreamed rather sweetly
Butterscotch dreams he completely
loved to the core
they were never a bore
and always done so discreetly

Then one day his wife seemed to question
The source of his butterscotch obsession
did the pillow have powers
to make dreams last for hours
or was it merely a sticky possession

She decided to give it a clean
At least that was her way to intervene
she took butterscotchy
and gave him a washy
but then her dear hubby made a scene

he was saddened and missed the sweet scent
and he even began to resent
his wife for the washing
and sweet dreams she was squashing
said he, or so went his lament

So she decided to give in to his need
In the butterscotch pillow she agreed
he slept so much finer
no longer a whiner
and it seemed to please him indeed
