Escape?
Escape from jail
With no bail.
He was drunk
With a slam-dunk.
A basketball player no less.
A made-up story, I confess.
He was running for his life.
The news could handle the strife.
He knocked her teeth out with a fight,
Killed the woman and took a bite.
A nightmare came true,
Only his eyes were black and blue.
She rejected him, and she couldn’t fly.
He didn’t know she was bi.
The police caught him again
For this bad sin.
If he was in hell, he couldn’t escape,
So he felt bad and would never rape.
He came to the Lord with nothing to afford,
For the grace of jesus he did plea
And he fell to his knee,
Now he would never fail and be free.
