Au naturelle

I like my wife to wear white in the house

It makes her look so fresh and clean

And of course, when she’s out in the kitchen

She matches the washing machine
 

If we go for a meal in the evening

She’ll put on her favourite dress

It’s a riot of glorious colour, so

If she spills stuff you can’t see the mess
 

Then at night we prepare to retire

I’m transfixed and under her spell

She won’t wear pyjamas or nighties

But goes to bed au naturelle

;-) , still lovers after all these years!!! Like your poem, your wife, your life, Shaz! ~A "We have to try to get rid of the notion of time. And when you have an intense contact of love with nature or another human being, like a spark, then you understand that there is no time and that everything is eternal." Paulo Coelho
