Toil and Trouble

I found a crooked dollar
and hired a crooked lawyer
to pursue a crooked case
before a judge to place,
but we found no crooked court,
however hard we sought,
but as long as we keep looking,
we'll keep the cauldron cooking.

Reminds me of the old nursery rhyme “There was a Crooked Man”.
