A Stint In Jail
Breakfast was at 4 AM each morning
With boiled eggs and peanut butter
And after that was snoring
Each morning like any other
About an hour later
The TV came on again
And some took pencil and paper
To write their families then
Next chow was at 11 o’clock
With our Johnny sacks as food
And the bologna sandwiches we got
Came with green oranges too
At times we were offered rec
For inmates to workout
And there were basketball nets
But the basketballs didn’t bounce
Everybody in jail did their pushups
Everywhere they went
And their bodies they kept buff
With their muscles no accident
When our families came to visit us
We were thankful they had come
And the visits picked our spirits up
For several days to come
Our big day in court finally came
And we learned our future then
With some in jail the same
And others on probation again
