Mondays through Fridays - they all seem the same. You cab it to Court to blaspheme and blame Some stranger who's done you no triable shame 'Cept to upset, maybe offend, your client. A "...res ipsa..." here, a "...nolle pros..." there. Then "Thank you, your Honor, you've been eminently fair...." As the game is played out in mock legal warfare Betwixt lawyers whose love is to argue and pare To no consequential end or reason. "And thank you as well...," say I to opposing counsel this time, "I accept your check with interest at prime, Though your client's done mine a most heinous crime - Should be quartered and hanged - he's nothing but slime...." "Garcon, are your oysters in season???" Releases are signed - his check goes in the bank Payable to my client though his case truly stank. But I smile with pride - as he does likewise to me. I've won his case and he pays my fee. So ends the week - I've made another buck. Though one day soon I'll run out of luck. Today I'm a WINNER - tomorrow a SCHMUCK! Law suits are funny - you win or you whiff. You may settle 'em quick or otherwise tiff With a judge semi-conscious, perhaps only half-stiff. God how I love the life of a lawyer! |
