For love of Megan I danced all night, 

fell down, and broke my leg in two places. 

I didn't want to go to the doctor. 

Felt like a goddamn fool, that's why.

But Megan got on the phone, called 

my mother. Told her, Dick's broken 

his leg, & he won't go to the doctor!

Put him on the phone, said my mother.

Dickie, she said, you get yourself

up to the doctor right this minute!

Awwww, Ma, I said. All right Ma.

Now I've got a cast on my leg from 

hip to toe, and I lie in bed all day 

and think. God, how I love that girl!
