Ralph Escapes the Big House

The wages of sin.

Ralph Escapes the Big House

 

By Elton Camp

 

It’s a life sentence with no parole allowed

“No prison can hold me,” Ralph vowed

 

Ralph found a loose stone in his cell

It helped to bribe the guard as well

 

An escape tunnel he then began to bore

Every night, he worked on it some more

 

“When I get out, I’ll sure kill that D.A.

And the jury & witness are gonna pay.”

 

“They put me into this huge cracker box

But nothing can hold this sly old fox.”

 

After ten years of labor almost every night

Ralph broke through to his great delight

 

But a key element his escape plan did lack

He was in the middle of the railroad track

 

“Free at last!” is what he proceeded to yell

But a rushing train, his dream did dispel

 

His plans for revenge vanished just like that

As the freight train then mashed him flat
