They All Wanted Jail

Five older women confessed to the hit and run. None had damage on their cars. They were irritated that no one believed them. I am a murderer one screamed As they were escorted out by police officers. Good try, her friend said. I tried that last week. It is kind of sad When five older ladies are eating cat food While convicted prisoners get three square meals a day.

I like the unexpected turn at the end - it is shameful that so many seniors don't get the care they deserve.

It truly is a travesty of injustice.
