What Goes on at the County Jail
What Goes on at the County Jail

Third place winner, Fiction, Arlington County Detention Facility/Heard/OAR writing contest, August 2022
- Where the commissary is the bail
While the frail
Complain that the milk is spoiled
And the bread is way too stale
- Meanwhile,
Mail is also being pass-out like a
Hygiene kit
To all those
I suppose
That is willing to use it
- You see
Everybody knows that a shower
Can devour
Dirt
Along with the help of some soap
It shouldn’t hurt
- And speaking of pain
What about the insane
Thought of having a smelly celly
The type that lies thru his teeth
Even on the tele
One of the reasons why….
- The phone ,ay be hard to use
Especially
Since there are those that want to
Abuse
- From a candle lit
To a fuse
- From a word that curse
To a nice nurse
That’ll come to your aid
With a bottle of Gatorade
- From the county of Dade
All the way to the county jail
Where the “fresh flavor”
Is a savior
Similar to what spinach does for
Popeye the sailor
- From Brutus to Olive Oil
Some may feel as if they’re in
“Hot Water”
And no Im not talking about the kind
That boil
- Good grief!!
- From a deputy to a police chief
- From sweetgreen to sweetleaf
- With this Imma keep it brief
And say to all that red
- Thank-you
And
Have a nice day
- Even if the clouds in the sky are in
50 shades of a darker gray.
