Poem "Noelene Bourke" by William (Bill) Thomas:

Ok: He could have spelled her first name right. And he really shouldn't have called her "ugly". Still...this is beautiful...

"There’s an ugly obnoxious, vicious, fiercely independent

Corrupt, wise cracking jerk prisoner named Noelene Bourke.

Who’s in charge of her criminal family the Bourkes

Who commit different crimes to support themselves through difficult times

Because tragically they refuse financial aid

They regard as charitable perks."
