There's nothing like celebrating a birthday together. I just had to give it a poetic flavor.

Togetherness,

Grand daughter Crystal? Can’t forget you some how ,
You got a problem ,and need some help now,

No I ain’t surprised, it’s money no doubt,
Your boy friend’s in jail and needs bail to get out,

Six hundred dollars, girl that’s some big dough,
I ain’t Uncle Sam, or welfare you know,

You say for his birthday , you wanna be with him,
Well girl my old check book is , mighty, mighty thin,

It’s a big waste of money, but I’ll send what I’ve got,
It may help some, but then maybe not ,

I don’t know the arrangement, I’m not a jail bird you see,
Wish him happy birthday, tell him it’s from me,

Grand pa you’re a bastard, cause I’m sure you knew,
That money was counterfeit, they locked me up too!

Always a neat twist in the end. She got what she wanted… To be with him… In jail.

One inmate said to another in his cell, "I always made big money counterfeiting. A quarter-inch too big."

By that same token, Tom, you ought to be locked up, too! You can now celebrate the birthday together - in the prison courtyard.

Where do you go searching such imbroglios to get yourself in a bind???
