Chicken Wings and Beer

I've come to the conclusion that WE
Are a chicken wings and beer kind of couple.
On special occasions
You like to take me to expensive restaurants
Like La Fenice
Where waiters place crisp white linen on our laps
And the fish is de-boned in front of our eyes
Where olive oil flows freely from glass jars
And tomatoes are pronounced "to-mah-toes."
Do you remember when we went away
and got drunk from beer
And ate nothing but
Chicken wings
Pizza
And
Garlic Bread?
Out of all the meals we've had
In the fanciest places we've been to
Nothing beats the taste
Of a pint of Keith's pale ale
And spicy hot wings.
