Chetta Achara Poet Rispetto

Notes About The Poem

WILLIAM HOPPER (Paul Drake) with RAYMOND BURR (Perry Mason) and BARBARA HALE (Della Street) in Perry Mason on CBS television from 1957 to 1966.

I Want a Good Lawyer

I want a daily dose of Perry Mason
(with a sweet side-dish of Della Street thrown in),
the episodic filmed in black and white one.
Give me just one hour every weekday mornin'
of charming Mister Drake detecting where, why,
when Mason's hostile witness will tell a lie,
and then confess murdering his evil boss
without remorse and not counting it as loss.

Lacey Jones March 1, 2024 at 8:38 PM I love this poem! I love Perry Mason too, he was the bomb. Chetta Achara March 1, 2024 at 9:00 PM I just watched a You Tube video called The Defense Rests. It was a TV tribute to Raymond Burr after he passed away. Everyone who talked about him said he was the nicest man!

Jerry Brotherton March 1, 2024 at 5:40 PM Wouldn't it be wonderful if it still worked the way it did on that show. The guilty person always confessed. Chetta Achara March 1, 2024 at 5:55 PM Indeed it would be wonderful and perhaps save the taxpayers a lot of money!
