My Shortcut was Much Shorter

I found a shortcut and I was excited beyond belief
My husband was horrified, this shortcut gave him grief
I was taking a trip right through the most dangerous place in Chicago
But I am not a prissy, frightened stuck-up woman, I do not do Mar-a-largo
My husband begged me to never take this shortcut again.
Naturally, I ignored his craziness, but kept my secret in.
