A Day In Court
Lenny the lizard went to court due to his misdemeanor.
He was given 2 days in the cell awaiting trial.
On the trial day he went before the judge.
Your honor, I plead guilty to my charges but I
asked you to go easy with my penalty.
‘Why should I favor you’ asked the judge.
Lenny replied, I can’t keep my mouth shut.
and the judge said, ‘you won’t get anywhere today unless you do’
‘you will get 5 days and then probation’
‘now what do you say about that’?
the lizard open his mouth and struck out his tongue
‘you’ll never learn, now you’ll get have 5 more days’!
