(A class for correctional officers at the local community college) Thirty-six-thousand a year to begin No education or experience required The recruiting posters are pretty, though: Handsome young people uniformed in grey But the poor sergeant can’t control his class His students have their cell ‘phones and their ‘tudes - “Tell Momma to pick me up like I said!” – Slouched in their seats or wandering the halls While dozing over her own telescreen A fat corporal yawns by the soda machine
