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

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". Well done and the very best of luck to you in the contest, my friend. :)

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!
