A Poetic Courting Appearance
Sitting in a car
Coming from the bar
After studying the law
While waiting for an agent’s call
Star she was
Getting a little buzz
Enough to brag
About the information reported in the modeling rags
Romantic comedy made her name
Brought a nice fortune along with fame
Playing the guy’s game
Acting like last century’s dame
With finances in the bank
Her legal academic credits earned noted as top rank
Being very smart
Dressing for each part
Looking cute
In that runway business attire suit
Carrying the fashionable case
Protecting an image that says “the legal test you will ace”
Going into her rented one bedroom
There is good news feeling that loomed
A red light blinked
Making her stop and think
Pressed the button and a small recorder rewound
There was a message to be found
“You passed the bar on Success Street
Isn’t that sweet?”
Going over to the cabinet she took a shot
Still looking hot
Raising a toast
No more need to talk to the comedic host
“I do declare
A profession where
The truth will be told
From me a beauty that is bold
Guiding a light
To those restless and young needing a fight”
Taking a swift swig
Removing the puffy powder wig
What was there?
An honest color hair
“See you in court
I am still powerful as I was wearing those luring shorts”
