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
