Poem Artwork


 

I swear I tire,

Of seeing license plate frames,

Proclaiming what college they did from retire,

Yale, Harvard, Princeton, oh for the ivy league,

Me, I played for the departments baseball league,

We were so hot the year I was released, on fire,

I wanted to stay on and do more time,

At that time I did not to anything more lofty aspire…

 

I want a plate frame that states the above,

We didn’t play together cause there was brotherly love,

We did so to get outside in the air & get a break on time,

That way we could get released earlier, better than the fence to climb…

 

No honors did I receive,

Nothing I did, did I there leave,

I was not at the head of my class,

Hell for that matter I left there with little class,

I couldn’t catch worth a damn, nor could I throw,

But my hitting is what made my leaving, the reason my team did ultimately grieve…J

What a riot you are! I volunteered at Auburn Correctional Facility in an inmate run substance abuse counseling group about 17 years ago. Glad to see you are on the outside now and creating some funny and interesting stuff for your readers. Way to go!
Then again, this might be made up and if so that's cool too.
