Sydney Inmates
Sydney Inmates
Two inmates in Sydney had planned in advance
Hidden the bed sheets when they had a chance
Tied them together in a 60 foot length
Made sure they were tight and had enough strength
They planned the escape through their window it seems
And then over a wall by any old means
They planned their escape for last New Year’s Eve night
And walk through the town till they’re out of sight
But alas they were thwarted and their plan was shut down
When the 60 foot length of tied sheet was found
A pretty good plan but try as I might
I have to believe that these inmates weren’t bright
You see they were housed in a one-story jail
And that 60 foot rope left a way too long tail
And the fence they were hoping to scale if they could
Was maybe 6 meter of old chain link and wood
When caught, they were moved to a site more secure
With hopes that their next plan was better I’m sure
Just another news flash from your Uncle Mike
