The Verdict
“Guilty as charged!” came the jurors’ report,
Reflecting that justice was served.
The law of the land says to follow the court,
So the verdict was what was deserved.
The defendant, of course, didn’t seem to agree
But instead of accepting the news,
He disparaged the judge and the system so we
Might accept all his nasty, warped views.
When our country was founded, civility ruled
And the leaders worked hard on the laws.
What I hope is that voters won’t somehow be fooled
By a felon with nothing but flaws.
