The Fastest Girl in Town

   Jane was the fastest girl in her small town
   By age sixteen she'd been passed all around
      Jane went dancing one night
      Drank way too much, got tight
   Woke up next morn ~ a woman of renown

If only she had listened to her parents -- why, but we insist and learning the hard way!? Well said my friend. Let those young with ears listen.
