Notes About The Poem
The below write is drawn from reports and Imagination, I do not verify any specifics in any way..As I do not wish to appear predjudiced on this situation.' I am sure There will be a lot of details that will come To light i hope? the courts will be a shining light in the field of applied American law.)

Well son of a gun'

Judge..Why did you have a machine gun.? Maduro well I heard some nasty people were going to kill my guards and kidnap me..' But they went further and took
My wife also, and bashed her in the ribs and maybe fractured her wrist.? Judge.. I
Cannot deal with un'substantiated allegations.' I take it you do not have medical proof? Now this hearing is just to
Ascertain your who you say you are,
Charges e t c.' But
Your honour.' I'm sorry mr maduro.' I have a
Protracted case in train at the moment.' Your situation having only just come up is
Still in initial stages.' And this other case is
At final stages..Its a bad one
 too' the victims
Were asleep in their home when an armed
Gang killed their dogs' disabled their securiy system' and threatened the husband that if he did not put the gun down ' he had kept by the bed just in case?'
They would harm his wife bad.' The two of them were bundled into a vehicle headed for Mexico..If there had not been a tip off
At a gas station they would have been over
The border and probably being held for ransom by now.' Oh is that the time? Clear
The court the clerk can take further details
In an ante-room..Thank you all for your time.) Session over.!
