Judgment Call

J-udgment call is based
O-n your own opinion; 
S-ubjective ruling handed out
E-xpresses your decision.
P-erform your function, your duty to dispense; 
H-ave sheer guts to give the sure verdict with sense.

P-rovide a strong and vivid
R-esolution of the matter; 
U-se your human instict, 
D-ecide with firm power.
E-very August sixteenth morn, 
N-ight silence passes by; 
T-he voice of the juror sounds, 
E-nding the question why.

U-nusual but fair sentence 
D-ictates the effect in cue; 
A-nswer the problem with
N-ice judgment call
I-n you.
