Alcatraz razzmatazz
A letter to Donald
Dear Mr President, please can you tell me,
Is there any truth to your Alcatraz epiphany?
To open again this old penitentiary
Is surely a move, for me, quite providentially.
You see I once worked in a London reformatory,
H.M. Prison Pentonville, well-known bad-boy dormitory.
My suggestion is this, that, experientially,
I have so much to offer, of skills complementary.
So please when you think of this bold opportunity,
Consider me a candidate for any Warden vacancy.

PS: I have been inside Alcatraz prison and, speaking as a prison security expert, I think I could improve security to ensure that no more prisoners would be allowed to escape.

Thanks for reading

Talk that shit brother. Congrats on top story.
Great story mate! But you mind reporting someone who is clearly trying to profit off your title and your ideas?

Hope you get the job, congrats on a highly amusing Top Story
Fantastic poem, Raymond. If Alcatraz reopens, Trump needs to call you and say, "You're hired!" Congratulations on top story. This is great!
I despise that this is the timeline we live in lol great little poem
You should be hired
Congratulations, Raymond...this was a fun poem
Very good work, congrats 😊👏
Very good work, congrats 😊👏
This reminded me of Gilbert and Sullivan! Lot of work needs doing there before you take up your wardenship, Ray!
Congratulations on the Top Story! 🥳
Back to say congratulations on your Top Story! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
I guess it’s not the worst idea coming from him, but again, the cost would fall on taxpayers who are already have seen enough.
Well, I hope he chooses you, lol. Loved your poem!
I never thought I would ever read a poem about a prison. 😅 If you get the job you might enjoy better weather.
Clever and full of charm—your wit shines through! You’d make a strong case for Warden with lines like these.
And please remember that should it be reopened, you may very well yet entertain #45/47 as a permanent guest. (Since he commits his crimes quite openly, simply declaring that they're not crimes because he says so, the greatest hurdle would be finding a jury sufficiently ignorant to be without prejudice in the matter.)
Technically, this would be a great idea for Trump to make, but the rehab of the buildings would be very expensive unless they just blew it up and built a new one. If he could change world maps changing the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America, he could rebuild this prison. Good job really enjoyed this one.
