Fresh out of law school,
with a trained eye for detail,
his maiden battle left him,
feeling like a garbage pail.
Furious with his reasoning,
the fulminating judge quipped:
"Counsel, you've been quibbling,
when you ought to stay tight lipped,
for, to wriggle your way
out of this one,
you are very ill equipped ! "
Hounded by the humbling,
his ego was now smarting.
He felt such a great big fall,
would've had a Zen Master fuming,
even the clairvoyant Octopus Paul,
could never have seen it coming.
His wizened senior chipped in,
and over a bottle of the finest gin,
preached with the slightest of grins:
" You are my trusted lynch pin,
a fine lawyer you'll make,
your pride, though, is a deadly sin,
abandon it for career's sake."
The words struck a chord,
he realized he wasn't The Lord,
he felt humble,did not grumble,
never again did he stumble.
