CLOTHING OFF - NAKED

When I saw you stood there in the nude,
I had to do it, though it seemed rude.

Another opportunity may not have arisen,
So I had to take the chance I was given.

You seemed shocked, but for just a while.
Although nude, you wore a fine smile.

"Would you mind if I took it?" I said.
You laughed. "No, it's OK; go ahead."

"All right then," I said. And so, I did.
"You flasher!" you joked, then something clicked.

And now I keep your tasteful photo,
By the delighted side of my bed.

I would rather have you there for real,
But I've got your real picture instead.
