BERTIE'S GREAT ESCAPE
When we arrived, the locals told us that no one, but no one had escaped from Alcatraz.But when you are with the minders that I have,anything can happen.
This is a true story. It all started one fine November morning when I was strolling along the Wharf front of San Francisco. American customs always confuse me. When I saw this little buggy I thought that it was there for taking fun rides. Imagine my surprise when these 2 burly SFPD officers walked up and arrested me for stealing a security control vehicle! Before I knew where I was, I was heading for Alcatraz. Surely my crime was not that severe- no one escapes from Alcatraz...
I was "bear marched" to my cell and the doors clanged shut behind me. Footsteps echoed down the deserted corridors and I was left to spend my first day in captivity in the most famous prison in the world. Things perked when we went to the dining hall or Time Square as my new friends called it{ they were the most friendly murderers that I had ever met!}This is when I learnt that no one had ever escaped {not even Clint Eastwood}- however the old lags told me about clever plans that had failed- one of these appealed to me!When my minders came to visit me I tried to keep an upper bear lip and be brave.They looked concerned but I had an idea which I explained to them.During the night I created a dummy bear to fool the officers and made my escape. I dashed to the docks and saw my minders departing on the last boat. I leapt towards the boat and scrambled up the side.
Did my plan work?... was I free?... log on and find out next time....
