Can't Make Bail (Trois-Par-Huit)
by Clara Mae Gregory
What a grin
my baby had back then
swallowed up under his cowboy hat
With a rifle in his hand instead of a bat
He took aim at the bad guy portrayed by a rat
He was so sure that he would not fail
Lost hero now in jail
can't make bail

Author's Note: (repost)This one is based on events in my life. Robbie, my youngest child, is now 18. He is not in jail at this time(thank God).He spent the summer in a youth prison in the mountains of NC serving his sentence after violating probation by flunking a pee test(marijuana).He went back to school to complete unfinished requirements so he could finally graduate and get his diploma(he was a senior last year and screwed up his senior year after he got busted for marijuana when he was 17 at the skatepark mother's day weekend in 2008.He is currently living at home and working and plans to go to college.
