Three Chinese Cheers for Lawyers

  
     Lawyers scratch their behinds 
        contemplate justice, tone-deaf, blind

     Is outing a criminal despot in our hemisphere ‘constitutional’
         Is the Monroe Doctrine still useful ...

     While evil Maduro's already behind bars 
         ~ Venezuelans cheering freedom’s stars

Yes, China is demanding Mauro's release or they'll stop shipments of eggrolls, immediately!
