Singing the Behind Bars Blues

I’m singing the Behind Bars Blues,
And thinking over my mistakes.
It’s hard to be here in my shoes.
I’m singing the Behind Bars Blues.
Parole will be such welcome news!
I look for hidden files in cakes.
I’m singing the Behind Bars Blues,
And thinking over my mistakes.

tell you what the next time i send your cake, there will be a file in there, so be careful where you bite down. this was a very creative and amusing piece of fine poetry.

Yes, serving time in prison gives people a chance to think about correcting their ways, Jack. Laughed at the "hidden flies" line. Great entry for the contest. I'm not sure, but I think you may have to put the contest title on the entry. Wishing you success while I'm away. Love, Carolyn
