Charo!

I forged for myself an iron decree
That my lady's fiftieth birthday
Would not treat her as mine did me
And that we would celebrate...as she may.

On that score I gleaned we were agreed
Because I'm the awesome sort of guy
That gives to his wife some actual heed
Unlike those wretched chaps that never try!

"Thai" was her edict for birthday cuisine,
For she knew of a lovely place to dine,
And later on when things were more serene
We marked the day with sparkling wine!

Oh, how to know, when I was young and drifty,
That a chick could be so fine at fifty!
