It May Not Be True
Everybody keeps asking me, “Hey Jerry.” Are all the things you write about really true. ‘Cause they find it pretty hard to believe, I’ve done all of the things I say I do.

A chef gave Dad a gift he’ll never use, a cookbook full of gourmet recipes. Some call for twenty-plus ingredients. Dad knows, for these, prep time won’t be a breeze.

Here in Chicago, Illinois the landscape is flat No hill or vale to break the monotony A concrete jungle downtown, surrounded by highway Leading to endless cornfields south of the metropolis The suburbs and exurbs' main drags all eerily familiar McDonalds, Starbucks, Walmarts, Athleticos Bank of Americas, Chase Manhattans, CVS' and Marianos ...
