Ladies' Night

On Ladies' Night, there was
A little discount on the drinks,
A custom quite old-fashioned
And surprising, too, methinks.

Who wouldn't like the bill reduced
When going out to eat?
A savings of some buckeroos
Is always kind of sweet.

But Ladies' Night in modern times
Just sounds so not P.C.
It harkens back to times before
So-called equality.

The purpose then (and maybe now)
Was getting women soused
So men would have the chance (they hoped)
To get a gal unbloused.

My dinner with a girlfriend
Got me two bucks off my beer,
With not a man in sight
To give a glance or, much less, leer.
