Contempt of Court

A lawyer once said, he could get me free.
No trial held, just a hearing you see
A traffic ticket was all.
My lawyer, so very small.
Not seen by judge, contempt of court, jailed me.

I was so small in highschool that my principal marked me absent when I was there, so I see this lawyer's problem. Congratulations on a good limerick.
