BEASTLY TALES
(Greed is NOT a virtue)
Those more successful of our race,
Keep lawyers close, all over the place.
Always ready to litigate,
Stranger or friend, an alarming trait
Some lawyers we wish to mention here,
A firm with a banner; SNIDE, SMIRK AND SNEER
Enter here lawyer, Oswald Snide,
Slyly disparaging (as name implied).
His reputation as a sure-fire winner
Of cases too hard for a beginner,
Without regard as to guilt or not
But whether the defendant can pay a lot.
The analogy of the LAWYER VINE,
With clutching thorns along it's spine,
Suits many in this ancient trade
Where real money can be made.
Defending a thief of high criminal rank
Caught on camera defrauding a bank.
The defending argument, quite compelling,
(presented amid much supportive yelling)
Was that Banks can be thieves of a much higher order,
Than a commonplace villain, a serial defrauder.
And so the case was set aside,
Another win for Oswald Snide.

This poem describes the current state of the judicial system and society as a whole - corrupted and rotten. Though, it is written in a humorous way I can still feel the bite. Thanks for the interesting read and have a nice day.
That's exactly the message I was trying to convey. Thanks For your comment.
Good morning, this is interesting your post I liked the drawings I hope you take into account my humble comment greeting from Venezuela
Jajaja, Mayor denuncia, @beastlybanter. Los abogados son esos enemigos que queremos tener cerca. No nos podemos fiar de ellos, porque si no le debes hasta la ropa. O eres una buena persona o un buen abogado. Las dos cosas no van en el mismo curriculum. Excelente post, me reí un mundo.
Thank you.
I really enjoyed the dictation. I love wordy humor.
I look forward to my daily dose of laughter reading all your poems and then you look at the drawings and they make you laugh even more. So clever, and strong meaning behind them.
Thank you.
