   For you, speaking of you, personally,   
   that might be your best choice, naturally.   
      
   Speaking of what is best for one, one may   
   ponder various povs, realities and one could be   
   spending time in a cell with food and shelter   
   is the best bet, naturally, on the Road.   
      
   As for me, not being entirely guilty at times of breaking,   
   and at the same time guilty of some demeanor, a law   
   as a rule, jail was a good option, the best.
