Old love

This poem by Phyllis Fountain won Spectator competition #1633 many years ago

I love you in your long johns,
I love you in your socks,
But we may as well admit it:
We’re just two dear old crocks

We have travelled the world together
And the years have left their mark.
Do you think from now on, my darling

We ought to undress in the dark?
