COUNSELOR COWARD So there was I a fresh new face ready to oversee the law I had the mandatory briefcase, with two pencils and a Waterman pen I’d studied long and hard for years but my future had one huge flaw And it’s all because I’m more sensitive than most and/or all men My co-council and deity du jour was almost as eager as I We faced the prosecuting attorney with swords of silver hone I felt as if I were an eagle and I had finally learned to fly But what I knew turned into aspects of the job I hadn’t previously known Jury selection was over and it was time for the D.A.‘s openings speeches As my cohort and I glanced at their evidence of exhibit “A” through “L” As my sleepless client remained, for obvious reasons, speechless The jury filed in and it was obvious they were going to condemn this man to Hell
