I'Ll Have a Drink Tonight

I'll have a drink tonight No more than two beside the fireplace And contemplate that oil painting I did of you my love Nude with Ladybug It always makes me smile remembering your modesty I added the imagined Ladybug to your hand of course Then painted your underwear out Isn't the minds eye a wonderful place to play sometimes And the awesome thing about you Is after 42 years of marriage you were ever My lady and modest to the end
