There Once Was a Lawyer

.



There once was a lawyer on the hook
For being in cahoots with the crook
The crook was set free
By making a plea
But the lawyer was hit by the book

Nicely done Virginia. Has the classic Limerick beat to it; is creative; witty; humorous; and lined with truth. A pure Limerick in all regards. Good job.
