Girls From Mclean

there is a town on the high plains on the way to nothing in the way of nothing and in no particular order are a few too many trailer homes nestling, vying, clinging closely to their mother superior, Dairy Queen the presumption that none would venture this place on purpose is falsified by some younger men hailing from civilized parts to soar down the old dirt roads a nose ahead of sunset why ever would they go for only they must know girls from McLean will do anything free of charge and free of risk to important reputations it might be said that the daughters of this panhandle hamlet learned to speak, to cheat, to drink from their occasional fathers and the other life essentials courtesy of Cosmo thus they wait to accommodate boys from towns on the highway who will someday find a school and a job and a wife, denying they used to drive out to McLean
