Mom let me join the Fert. It's an exclusive club. You can't be in it. It's only for corrections officers. I get extra money. You pay me. I get extra grub. You buy it for me. All the boys get to play together. I get to dress up in neat cop gear. I look like a real cop. I can trot around with the other kids. I get a t-shirt. It says F.E.R.T. in letters on the back. It's scary black. I get all kinds of neat stuff. I get a long baton stick. I pretend it's my dick. The prisoners are more scared of me. I feel important. I like to look at their smut. They have to show it to me. It don't matter if women don't like me. I am a Fert. I like being in the gang. My union is a gang, too. I wear its badge. I don't have to be so scared. The gang will protect me. I can talk bad to the inmates. If they say anything about it I just lie. There ain't nothing they can do about it. I am a Fert. "Cheer up!
