What an awful place
The profiteroles were no good
And the tennis court is busy
Nearly half the time
We don’t even have Netflix
Just a reasonable selection of DVDs
The radio, a TV
And pretty good library
There’s even a book club
If that’s what you fancy
What an awful place
No air condition
Just adequate fans
And heating in the winter
What an awful place
No World of Warcraft
Just a wide selection
Of freeware games
So life is rough
Cos there isn’t enough
Hours in the day
To do all that play
First world problems
In a first world jail
And they wonder why
We get institutionalized
Don’t be mistaken jail is rough for the majority of the crims that are stuck in maximum security, 40 volatile convicts living in close quarters with not much do, violence and drugs and little else other than the crushing boredom. But to be honest the minimum security cottages are remarkably easy going. A few people have said, and I agree, that if you were in the same conditions but with 400 poets, artists, dancers, musicians or any walk of life other than violent criminals it would be quite livable. And yes believe it or not these days we get profiteroles thanks to the jail opening a bakery to provide more jobs to inmates.
God bless the first world..
