A Big Occasion

To mark a big occasion There should be a special meal, Most often in a restaurant; (At least that’s how I feel). Today’s the anniversary Of when I met my mate, So therefore we will dine somewhere Outside to celebrate. Without a reservation We’ll just stroll around the ‘hood And peek at menus, noting If the food and drink sound good. It’s not our usual routine, But after all these years, Most anyplace will do to eat And toast this date with beers.
