Poem: My hands usually have Lead pencils to use
With rubbers 2 Erase the blues
Write a note, I will, then watch it disappear.
Cricket is a boring game
Until the last hour when it starts to get all quick and exciting. And then the medicine bell rings
Will you swallow? Will you eat?
Yoghurt and apples and plain sugar biscuits
Are your other option
In a cell with worse misery. But the biscuits are nice
And fruit is good for fruits U fruit
But I never saw a Lead pencil for me to draw
We had temporary pens to write a ransom note
& Bouncy big balls and 2 string guitars
Are funny, but how can we play with them productively?
With great difficulty, you might think, but a practical person will know what 2 do
Have U ever had boiled chicken?
No way. Not in this place.
Just stay out of the way. And keep your yoghurt in the back of the fridge. So no-one can C
Gallop like a horse back 2 your stable
Wait for feeding time and a nurse to ride your back
Clean sheets are a blessing and
Administrators have big hearts
And everyone else in the pig pen is a pig!
What did U expect, stupid?
Back on the farm My hands have Lead pencils to use once again
With rubbers 2 Erase the blues once again
Write a note 2 the generic food for the last time,
then watch it disappear…...
