The Bagel Wars – Memories Through the Eyes of my City

In Montreal, a city so fine,

Bagels are a sacred sign,

But don’t you know, there’s quite a fight,

About who’s got the bagels right.

St. Viateur, Fairmount too,

Both claim their bagels are the true,

Each with its loyal devotees,

Who’ll argue endlessly and tease.

Some say the water’s the key,

Others, the oven’s the mystery,

But no one can agree for sure,

Which bagel’s taste is most pure.

It’s a war without end,

As both sides try to defend,

Their way of making this treat,

That Montrealers just can’t beat.

So if you’re ever in this town,

And you’re craving a bagel renowned,

Just pick a side, take a bite,

And join the Montreal bagel fight.
