Dragon Slayer

Welcome Sir Slurs Alot 
The bravest of the brave
Keeper of the law
Defender of the undefendable
Hated reviled
Potentialy convicted by his side
Still he steps up to the bench
Looks the Judge in the eye
He hopes the jurors will be wise

His sharp mind used like a sword
A hung jury his reward
All he needs is one person to doubt
He talks low lets the prosecutor shout
If they like him
Their minds may sway
Laughter a tool  the facts his clay
Molded to his story of probable cause
He understands his way around laws

In the end it's a thankless career
No one wants the poor guy near
A dragon slayer a really brave guy
Battles are won because he trys 



Hail to the Dragon Slayer Contest

Timothy Hicks Date: 4/27/2013 10:59:00 PM I was intimidated when I read this contest. But you've crafted something silly as well as clever, while still abiding to the theme. I especially liked the part about molding the facts like clay... a very cool thought, that was! Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 4/28/2013 7:00:00 AM Thanks Tim, now I await judgement.
