Sounds Like Edgar Allan Poe(m)
A prisoners' newspaper in Britain says it may have to axe its poetry page if inmates don't stop plagiarising poems in a bid to win a £25 prize. In one case an inmate stole work by Robert Frost, the American poet, while another lifted song lyrics from James Brown.
FOOTNOTE: Rhyme and treason.

Read today that British jails are doing surveys for prisoners asking them how much they like their cells and what could be done to improve their accommodation.
I am not kidding!
I am on the point of emigrating!

I heard of someone who won a poetry comp with a creation comprising the first word of each poem from a book of poetry he bought!
LOL And no one in jail is guilty, huh? This is so funny, David.
Cheers!
