There's an old couple looking back on their youth.
It has been a while since they've pleased a sweet tooth.
The woman works nights for her career at a firm.
And the man's job assures he's a home-bound book worm.
---
One day the woman takes note of her leather-soled shoes.
They'd be perfect for dancing after downing some booze.
She lifts a book right over her husband's long nose.
And says "Dear, it's time to buy a fresh new set of clothes."
