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")

Really? He should have asked his lawyer for one...I'm sure that he has an extra one that he would be happy to give him while he was collecting his 40%:) Congrats on you win!
