I love to find an eatery Which beckons with B.Y.O.B. For when I’m going out to dine, It’s nice to bring my favorite wine. They may assess a corkage fee, A wont with which I disagree, But that won’t serve to undermine The welcome in their grand design. Yet if I fess up, truthfully, B.Y.O.B. appeals to me Because a bottle that is mine Will likely cost $6.99!

I see we have similar taste in wine. With taxes that bottle in Canada would be $15.99

Now if we can go to the bar and eat our food, the picture is complete. For in these times we all agree the prices must be beat. :)
