A lawyer’s life is a tale to tell,

a story of strife and verbal duel,

with facts to fudge,

and an eagle eyed judge,

the robed fox ,

teases and talks.

A client once asked,

**“**My motives are masked,

and my deeds are dark,

will His Lordship hark,

when you bumble and bark?

The lawyer groped,

for an answer he hoped,

would please his client ,

and make him compliant.

He then replied,

to the client’s delight,

**“**I will wax eloquent

to such a degree,

a seasoned delinquent

will walk free!

This my friend,

was a lawyer’s tale,

You’ve done well to lend

an ear so hale.

Reminds me of Denzel Washington saying “Of course you have a case” in Philadelphia, when a potential client tells him that he saw a hole in the street, decided to cross the street at that point and no other, consequently broke his leg, and wants to sue the city for negligence and adds “Do I have a case?”.

A client narrated the facts of the case to the young lawyer, and asked "Do I have a good case?"
The young lawyer replied enthusiastically "yes, you have a good case, very good case."
The client instantly went away saying that it is the case of the other side!"
