I wanted an electric blanket.

You gave me a butter dish.

With my electric blanket
I would have snuggled
In my warm bed and slipped
Off to sleep in healing comfort
During our endless subzero winter nights

But you gave me a butter dish
And, let’s see, what will I do
With it since I already have 6 other
Butter dishes

I guess I will put butter in it.

Thanks, so much.
It’s lovely.
