According to Joe
Joe Gedan
|
From the jail house, they'll cruise
The Legislature likes to micromanage
The prisons for the convicts' advantage.
To demonstrate their empathy shown
They passed a bill to bring criminals home.
The bill was met with the governor's veto
Because the public interest is her credo.
The Legislature came up with a quick override
Demonstrating that they're on the criminals' side.
