Richard Lamoureux Poet Rhyme

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

Delysia Hendricks April 29, 2013 at 5:16 AM You obviously have insight into law and its doings, Richard. Good use of court speak with "hung jury", "probable cause" and so on. I think you might enjoy my "Poetic Justice".

Timothy Hicks April 27, 2013 at 10:59 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! Richard Lamoureux April 28, 2013 at 7:00 AM Thanks Tim, now I await judgement.

Donna Jones April 27, 2013 at 10:09 PM Love the last part Richard...all of it really...good luck... Richard Lamoureux April 28, 2013 at 7:01 AM Thanks Donna
