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.
