If I get a cell-
\nand I’m saying IF –
\nI’m very popular with the warden crowd –
\nyou can’t outfit my cell in any more gold
\nthan one of the Louies –
\nyou know, the big ones before all the
\nhead-chopping – what’d they call them?
\nGillotines? Our friend Macron, he
\nshould be scared they don’t bring that back.<\/p>\n

So, let’s all take a bow of silence
\nfor the real criminals.
\nWhat’d I say? A bow? Why not, they act like
\nroyalty, maybe they could get a pardon for
\ntheir <\/em>sins. Knock on King Charlie’s door
\nand demand a pardon.
\nNo one’s ever going to believe
\nI’m<\/em> the biggest sinner.
\nNot when you’ve got chumps like –
\nwhat’s up with Prince Harry?
\nLittle Harry out writing nasty things about
\nhis family?
\nWhat a shame, what a shame.
\nIf that were my son, I’d
\ncut him off.
\nTalk bad about your own father?
\nNo security detail for you!
\nThat’s only fair.<\/p>\n

And, I’d be the most secure in prison.
\nI don’t need a gang.
\nSecret Service
\nwould be there in the shower, which –
\nI’m in talks – would be private.
\nAnd, maybe I’d get a suite. A prison suite.
\nI could still get things done.
\nI’ve been promising my many, many friends
\nas soon as I have time, I could write
\nmy memoirs.<\/p>\n
