I am sure this is just joking around, for you and your father, and it is a fun song, anything can be added. But more seriously, probably for some, this is sort of, the reality of prison life, lets be honest, some do suffer in prison. But many, and I am thinking of two poets on this site and maybe others, who found poetry in prison, and have proved that they are in a good place, although, I am sure the nightmares remain........Constance

Gosh, this is horrible sounding (not your writing, but how you depict prison life) GEEEZ, I hope this is all just you joking around! Coz I know there is at least one prison fellow here, and an awesome poet at that! How are you doing, Jason? and I really enjoyed this "delightful" write! haha. Luv, Andrea
