Shady Lawyer

The Lawyer said "Wear this whiplash collar
And from the judge we'll get mega dollar."
I bent to pick up my purse
And then he let out a curse.
Said "If you bend don't forget to holler"

Coaching the witness! Shame, shame! Don't forget to limp! Of course he won't forget to limp after his lawyer gets through extracting his 40% from his wallet! Congrats on you win Francine!

Smile ~ "You" made me laugh out loud "Dear Gifted & Lovely Francine Roberts!!!" ~ What a wonderful sense of humour and yet, so very true sometimes; the things lawyers and even some people will do for a dollar and yet, sadly, many sell their own hearts to feed their loved ones....Smile, I know; a spin-off take of this wonderful poems scenario ~ I hope that "Your Precious Heart" is doing perfectly dear lady and ~ ....Cont:)
