Tried and True The creed

The Standard Fashion

Safe as plastics and simulated

pearls

Safe as curfews and restrictions

Safe in the comfortably familiar

faces furniture and our

newspaper

(they print the facts)

Protective as police and P.T.A.

meetings and

The Good Humor man, champion of the

Goodies of Life

Safe as salary and sin

in kissing someone else's spouse

And commuting between job and home

(there's safety in numbers)

Safe in our little white cottages

Built of little white lies and

tender pink pretenses

You are safe (if you are smart)

behind the picket fence of yeses.
