'Twas a tawdry affair that trifles pittance fare, A Qualified Judge. ~0~ Allied With Grudge. ~0~ Pride Did Smudge. ~0~ Backslide By Nudge. ~0~ Denied To Rejudge. ~0~ Teary-Eyed No Budge. ~0~ "FORGIVENESS" "Implied?" ... "Theorized!" "Her fate has already been decided ..." "... and what of me ...?" "Your fate will be defined."
