Story 44: To Jail
Out of season, Abigail shot a quail and a
long-necked rail. She also stole some US
mail.
Officer Bale cried out, "We must nail
this female. We must put a tail on her
trail."
Eventually they did catch her
shoplifting goods in a lunch pail. She
pleaded, "But Your Honor, a cold prison
will make my health fail, for I am
already so frail."
The judge replied, "Wail as you will
Abigail, but I shan’t lower your bail.
You’ll remain in my jail!"
