No Win No Fee

No Win No Fee they call it And it’s such a cause of shame In todays strange society where It’s somebody else to blame. Nobody wants to accept Responsibility for any action, Who can I sue these days Being the usual reaction. Burn yourself spilling coffee Blame yourself not Just sue the vendor for Selling it to you too hot. He should have realised You’re probably a clumsy fool And sold you a coffee That’s more than a little cool. Somewhere a Legal Advisor Rubs his hands with glee Raking in his slice of Your award, No Win No Fee. The soldier in combat In the modern day strife Reacts as he’s been trained To save his comrades life. Many years later Over passage of time Can find he’s been accused Of historic War Crime. And the past is revisited As he fights to stay free From an action that’s funded Courtesy of No Win No Fee. The hard eyed legal functionary In his well tailored business suit Watches the cash roll in From his speculative fruit And cares not a fig about Any ex squaddie like me As he continues to exploit His Golden Apple No Win No Fee
