Off in a pea pickin’ jail, our Tennessee hippie grows stale. While we, short of wit, give ourselves a fit. Trying hard not to give out a wail. ---

To the Hippie who’s languishing in jail I should be sending him limericks by mail. 'Twould be easy to print limerick pages for his stint If I remember to get off my tail. This limerick thread is number four lets hope we’ll keep making up more. But the strain on my brain is beginning to drain Simultaneous threads may sink to the floor. ---

One more day goes right on past. While we hold out to the last. Hoping our hippie will finally find the, goodies that we sent so fast. ---

Hey there, Hippie, how goes the brig? Your room probably isn’t too big. Hope it will hold all the wishes and limericks delicious from the dopers while you’re doing your gig. While playing the Big House Blues and eschewing cars, women and booze Hope time flies for you quickly (not prickly or sickly) and you’ll gain some temperance clues. ---

TN\*Hippie the weekend’s been long but if you think we forgot you you’re wrong. We’ll keep writing these rhymes while you’re doing your time until you’re back here where you belong. ---

The hardships to be found in a prison Are far too numerous for me to now list 'em. Tis my sincere hope that you don’t drop the soap and thus learn the meaning of “penal system”. ---

It’s been almost a month since he’s gone to the hoosegow to become a con. He should be back quite soon singin’ a different tune “How Dry I Am” not “Pour me Another One.” [Thanks Dire Wolf!]
