        C   Carrie climbed carefully carrying
	H   her handbag, hopeful, hesitating
	R   reticent, reluctantly reacting
	 I   instinctively insecure, imagining
	S   something serious, surreal,
	T   too many terrifying tales;
	M  morbid murder mysteries.
	A   Also anticipating amazing attractions
	S   so stupendous, sensational, sublime.
