So now I go
And walk on
Away from
This jail and
A place called
Framingham
But here I
Find myself
Here again
A fox slips easily through
the bars
of a garden gate.
Dog barking,
chained to
an imaginary kennel.
While I was out’a slummin’
I heard the sirens hummin’
hands restrained behind
now in jail I find
I shoulda seen it comin’
its not a tail
rain or hail
you can go
so before think slow
and fast about his task
you will need bail
if you go to
JAIL

Dr. King Ponders and writes
Nine thousand word letter.

Throw me in jail
I will sing your praises
Start a riot
Burn my bed and my bra
Cause a ruckus
Enjoy making new friends
Just don’t put me in there alone
He boldly admits it publicly.
Wry humour is his weapon of choice.

you committe acrime
you do the time
read the sign
no matter how you feel
don't steal
no matter what the deal
if this lesson you fail
you might go to
JAIL
Form:
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.
He always did the things he liked to do
Ignored by mom and dad, who'd not say boo
Yes, he became the man who went to jail
His view of right and wrong long gone askew
Do you still prefer
The memory
Of the things you were,
Nevermore to be?
Are you really safe
Inside the chain?
Don’t the shackles chafe
When you twist and strain?
I’m in Cook County Jail and don’t know why
All because of a devious lie
When I bend for the soap
It’s the only one not on a rope
The one eyed pirate gets a poke in the eye
There once was a brash barmaid named Belle
Her virtue she would selflessly sell
she was nicked by the cops
for illegal house stops
She now spends her spare time in a cell
it was day i'll sayit
it caugh my eye
as it pass by
look like my age
so i didn't turn the page
i found out to late
it was a mistake
it wasn't fake
but it was
JAIL BATE
There once was a priest who went to jail
He needed more money to make bail
He listened to confessions
To all kinds of transgressions
~ Did it all through pay-pal and email
You spend all the day sneaking about
but you'll pay for each rule you now flout
You can bet that sweet tail,
you're the next cat to jail
and you'll sing like a bird to get out!
It’s so good to be back in jail again
Do’in time with all of my friends
Figurin’ out ways we can escape
And while we’re out, committing rape
First day
No way
Lost book
He took
No good
A hood
Bad thief
My beef
Loud shout
Found out
Poor schnook
A crook
In court
Have tort
No bail
In jail
Too bad
Not sad
My drunken old aunty’s in jail,
She murdered a man for his ale,
And although she is bad,
I suppose she is mad
She isn’t allowed out on bail.
For Judy’s Relatives contest
(Purely fictional)
blank stares
indifferent shrugs
cruel features
hostile mugs
mumbled answers
to detective's probes
Soros funds their side
no use booking these thugs
I wake up in pain
my wrists have shiny handcuffs
I am in jail
My heart feels ice-cold
It will not stop its beating
I wish it would stop
My cell mate is gone
I am feeling so alone
I just want to die
