Birdman of Alcatraz (before a little edit)
Notorious inmates
Birdman born in Seattle
Murder incarceration
Solitary confinement
He studied canaries
Caged like them in his small cell
He let them fly freely
Like his mind behind bars
Never released
Birdman of Alcatraz (after)
Notorious inmate
Birdman born in Seattle
Murder in Alaska
Incarceration
Solitary confinement
He studied canaries
Caged in his small cell
He let them fly freely
Like his mind behind bars
