Side Street Chaos

Terrible it was.
Houston traffic and its side street chaos.
Even Chevy Chase was a nightmare.
People walking dogs, honks, pot holes.
Through a Ward, then the University.
Brazen attempts, lives put at risk.
They didn't care.

Gowns and caps were everywhere.
Bicycles.
They must all be prepared.
Certified, by the power vested in them.
From the State of Texas.
Hereby declared.

Bake the grits to get that good grit flavor.
Sopped it all up with a toasted baguette.
Poor shrimps, a bit overcooked.
A bloody Bloody Mary for the occasion.
When in Rome.
Find a foolish Roman.

Can't hide out forever.
Can't ride out forever.
Together, forever, Amen.
