Daily Dose of Legalese

Andrew was a wealthy lawyer's son 
Began each day with his morning runs
Circumstantial evidence
Disguised as benevolence 
Etches daily naughty legal puns

Cute and "punny," Line! And I like the way you employed the "legalese" in your entry. Best wishes in Joseph's contest! Hugs, Carolyn

Thank you so much, Carolyn, for your most appreciated visit and compliment. This one was giving birth after extremely long and hard labor... but I didn't give up.

These limericks are getting harder with certain rules applied, well written Line. Good luck. Tom

That's what I thought too when reading of the "alphabetical" requirement, but it really wasn't that hard. Just made the challenge more of a brain teaser.
