I want to break free and I want out of here <br />This sh*thole, my mate, is just so bloody queer <br />Watching the VPs get all the best jobs <br />While decent lads mate, we get treated like dogs <br /> <br />Everything’s broken and them screws won’t rush <br />Can’t get a bog roll mate, can’t get a toothbrush <br />Nothing to do has got me feeling sad <br />Scratching me ring piece and laid in me pad <br /> <br />All out of baccy and given up hope <br />Been rolling up teabags just to get a smoke <br />Could do with a cuppa but sugar’s all gone <br />Tap on the pipe “have you got any john? ” <br /> <br />“Course I have mate, you can have some of mine” <br />“Nice one our kid, I’ll just swing you a line” <br />“I owe you one jonno, Sunday on canteen? ” <br />But I’ll probably forget, if you know what I mean? <br /> <br />I’m not one for begging but it’s such a farce <br />Scratting about when in jail on you’re a*se <br />Wish I could laugh but it just ain’t funny <br />Trying to get by when you ain’t got no money <br /> <br />Complained on the out about living on dole <br />Now wish I was back there out of this sh*thole <br />Starving to death and can’t get any leaner <br />Gunna have to give in and become a wing cleaner <br /> <br />Or might get on servery and nick me some food <br />Big tray of grub in me pad like a dude <br />My pad mate’s down gym but I wouldn’t go <br />Just can’t be a*sed mate, to walk out the door <br /> <br />Can’t leave me door open or I might get skanked <br />I’d rob them next door but then I’d get shanked <br />Ain’t heard nawt from her not even a word <br />Could do with a postal order from me bird… <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />(c) varey 2013<br /><br />Gypsy Boy Varey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/layabout-blues-prison-letter/
