Dukes of Hazzard
by Francine DuBois

As a baby yuppie,
Patterning myself off of Alex P. Keaton on Family Ties,
Memorizing Trivial Pursuit cards and daydreaming
About being both a lawyer for Greenpeace and Chicago Bears cheerleader,
I had nothing in common with those "good ol' boys."

They weren't gonna make me rich.
