Free Legal Advice

When you're framed for a murder you didn't commit,
and you're being asked to answer for it,
and the judge has asked a jury to sit,
and you're hoping that they will be split,
but you know that you'll soon be strung up,
or, possibly, electrically lit up,
just scream to yourself, "Wake up, wake up, wake up!"

Good one that you have penned. Thank you for sharing this scary thought or dream with us. We never think it might happen to us or it is always someone else or a movie on TV. Sara K

Thanks CayCay, it's based on last night's actual nightmare, and I followed my own advice - :-))
