Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

Oops! Sorry 'Bout That!

His client had a leg amputation

   Oops! Wrong leg due to miscalculation

      His client wanted to sue

         But as the attorney knew

            No leg to stand on for litigation

Placed No. 2 in Carolyn Devonshire's "Lawyer Limerick" Contest - August 2010

(Last line based on the old saying "You Ain't Got A Leg To Stand On")
