Go Into Machine As Pig Come Out Like a Sausage-W

One cannot make an honest lawyer
Merely by an act of legislature
Work on his conscience
His lack of conscience
Is what makes him a lawyer.

And God said let there be Satan
So any blame not my concern
Satan said let be lawyers
So I have my own pleasures
To defend, lawyers are proper men.
