apparently these prisoners like lots of sausages... go figure.
Get it? Casing?
Any old “swabbies” out there will recall that if you screwed up you could get three days of bread and water.
You Gets No Bread with One Meatball!
A little man walked up and down,
He found an eating place in town,
He read the menu through and through,
To see what fifteen cents could do.
One meatball, one meatball,
He could afford but one meatball.
He told the waiter near at hand,
The simple dinner he had planned.
The guests were startled, one and all,
To hear that waiter loudly call, “What,
“One meatball, one meatball?
Hey, this here gent wants one meatball.”
The little man felt ill at ease,
Said, “Some bread, sir, if you please.”
The waiter hollered down the hall,
“You gets no bread with one meatball.”
I thought they got all the sausage they didn’t want in prison.
