Jailhouse Christmas Poem by sammie kelley

Twas the nite before Christmas,
And all through the jail,
Not an inmate was stirring,
For we were all locked in our cells,
The camera's were hung on the ceiling with care,
Just a little insurance to make sure you stay there,
Then all of a sudden there arose such a clatter,
Two fools in the next cell were charged with assult and batter,
Wisemen came down the walk laughing with glee,
Saying this Christmas fell on a weekend,
And so did New Year's Eve,
I went to the window in hopes that Santa would appear,
Then I saw a blinking red dot I knew it was Santa's reindeer,
But no it was a cop car filled with cons,
Out stepped two of my friends with the cuffs on,
I went to my bed and layed in the rack,
I said Merry Christmas,
But no one said it back.....
