Owed To a Night In Jail

I spend all night in the county jail, 
because I drove too fast drinking ale.  
My, how did my cell mate 
learn to articulate? 
Come early next morning I post bail.

But I'm my own boss; I'll have to think about how horrible I am. I'll work on it.

I can only imagine the language used by inmates, John. What a fun limerick! I see you are writing lots of them and hope I get a chance to read more. Off to a play rehearsal now. Thanks for your comments on my ode. People really did offer to come and remove it from my bathroom. Now how about writing an ode for my contest "Horrible Bosses" if you haven't already done so. Love, Carolyn
