| <td>The Chicago <em>Manual of Style</em> is really neat |
| |
| <p>when your composure cracks and ghosts</p> |
| |
| <p>of silly girls come whispering to bother you –</p> |
| |
| <p>this happens late at night – just kids</p> |
| |
| <p>out for a bit of fun with a convertible</p> |
| |
| <p>and a bottle of vodka like in a movie,</p> |
| |
| <p>and ‘Hell,’ you think, ‘did I do that? Was |
| I</p> |
| |
| <p>involved with that mad young bitch</p> |

| |
| <p>Was that me in Dad’s truck with the throttle</p> |
| |
| <p>stuck open, cracking ninety down the beachfront?</p> |
| |
| <p>With that... brunette... uh?’ Just about then,</p> |
| |
| <p>on the edge of love and terror, the Chicago</p> |
| |
| <p><em>Manual of Style</em> appears and takes you home.</p> |
