Carrabba’s, Coronas, Corruption

Yesterday we went to Carrabba’s, a food chain throughout the U.S.A.;
We’ve had fine meals at many of them, nominal charges had to pay!
There is one that’s very close to us, that we had not been to yet;
We decided to go out for dinner, Carrabba’s, always a good bet!
.
Returning from an Antique show, where we had set up a nice display;
We’d worked from 5 a.m. till 2 p.m., a very exhausting day!
The heat was so oppressive, rose to near one hundred degrees;
The last thing we wanted was cooking, “serve us a nice meal if you please”!
.
I was parched from packing up the car, the sweat pouring off of me;
The hour it took us to get home, I was craving an ice cold “brewsky”!
So the first thing that we ordered, was ice tea and Corona with a lime;
I quickly drained the first one, told the waiter, “one more time”!
.
Dinner came and was delicious, but the bill came, and I flipped my lid;
For they charged six bucks and ten cents, for each beer that I did!
Begrudgingly, I paid it, but today, the Corporation, from me will hear;
“How do you have the nerve to charge six dollars, for a freaking bottle of beer”?

Interesting and enjoyed Larry, had to read it a few times ?
Dear Keith,
If I had the same last name as you, I'd have probably been ordering Guinness Stout, which, based on this price structure, would have been eight bucks a bottle.
Getting ready to call the corporate office now.
Thanks for the comment.
Peace and Love,

Hey LARRY!!..... I'm a Corona with lime man myself!!...... and I agree with you completely!!...... Give 'em Hell brother!!....... highway robbery to say the least!!.... well written my friend!!...... LOVE and ROCKETS!!.......T xo ❤?
Hey Brother Tony,
Someday, when I'm "movin me down the highway", I'll be stopping in Charlotte, and the Coronas are on me (you supply the lime).
I tried to call the corporate office yesterday, but they don't answer their phones.
Their complaint boxes must be full.
I'm going to have to bitch through an e-mail.
Boycott Carrabba's is my new mantra!
Peace, Love, and Brewskys,

Hello Larry...
I tried Carraba's twice in Florida...
They had me come back the second time to make the mess up up to me the first time...
I said ok...
It was even worse...
I said I guess you don't really want my patronage I will stay with the ones who do and I haven't gone back since that was about 10 years ago...
The price for chicken at $20 I can see why also tea at $3 why a Beer is $6...
I'd rather go to the Melting Pot...
Better Luck next time...
Great write!
Thank you for sharing...
Hugs...

Hi Sweet Sparrowsong,
Your comment is more humorous than my poem.
We hadn't been to a Carrabba's in probably seven years ourselves.
Sounds like they are slipping a bit, because we used to enjoy them.
As for "better luck next time", that's not going to happen, unless when I get in touch with corporate headquarters, they comp us two meals.
Thanks for your all too funny words.
Love,

A lovely timed rhyme from a tough day!
Well done.

Hi John,
"A tough day", for two usually "easy-going" people.
But in this instance, it's time to play Hardball.
Thanks for the comment.
Peace and Love,
