Sally’s out showing it off at the corner of K and A* a little past nine-thirty Thursday party night. She’s looking good in that tight white dress that hugs her frame so nice. She’s got the big hair and the big ear-ring hoops that set off her pretty face just right. A big car drives up, with the “Jesus Saves” sticker on the bumper. The driver is a damper guy, real clean-cut, he honks his horn, and motions Sally towards the car. He leans out the window and asks Sally if she wants to party. She says, “Awww, no thanks Hon, I’m just waitin for a friend.” You just can’t trust someone like that. You can never tell what they might try to pull. Sally figures it’s better to be safe than sorry. *K & A stands for Kensington Avenue, and Allegheny Avenue under the El. It’s the main commercial corner in our neighborhood. Bobby |

Sally sure knows how to read them. Better a wolf dressed like a wolf than one in sheep's clothing. sharyn "God made you as you are |
