Who was sadly caught by his spill
He tried so hard to deny
To woo jury by his cry
But finally accepted it was a thrill

Who was indicted by our Grand Jury
The Ponzie scheme that he played
And all those people he flayed
He is now on a long Prison Journey

she seemed remorseful
the jury declared her innocent
having no idea she had killed three other men
in three other states
under three other names

Dumb Trump In Deep

Was discovered Trump is in so deep;
He has been finding it, hard to sleep;

Jury adjourn;
He fell from bed after piled so steep.

Premium Member Jazzy Jezebel Jerry

jazzy jezebel Jerry jabbered generously 
in a jury-loving jerk-water town. 
Her jimdandy jiggery-pokery jingling 
in a jokingly jolly way, at her joyless jobsite,
jiggling jealous jobbers into a juicy jeopardy.

Premium Member Shame On You

Never spoke unkindly
Never showed fury
Never insulted or disrespected
Never served as judge and jury

Behaved with quiet dignity
Words and actions ….honest and true
Never destructive or harmful
So shame on you!

The gregarious Mr. Jim Carrey
Crazy comic who makes merry
Seated  on a jury first day trial did start
Smiled, crunched up his face and let out a loud fart

Epigram

Saying

I used to say the elephant, people and the giraffe are not needed. 
How wrong I was the elephant reminds us how small we are and 
The giraffe tells us how short-sighted we are. As for people 
The jury is still out

I remember what I recently read;
Guilty to all charges he had plead;
According to jury,
Committed perjury;
Then after that from country fled.

Premium Member God My Only Judge and Jury Man Can Only Take Me To the Grave

I come before you
In shame I witness my fall
as I come before

I come before God
for He's the only true judge
to heaven or hell

I come before man
man can only take me to
the grave, the grave, grave

Lips Service

Forging through
 Destiny will befall a crimson head
 Wrapped in silver tongue
 
 
 
Slanted, the gift jury rigs
 A court appointment dusting
 Off today's wig
 
 
 
A jester posed as unsketched
 Captures an ear briefly
 Searching the discount rack

A jury duty summons
Yay! Whoopee!
Said no person every

I have received five in the last thirteen years.
Got my latest one yesterday.
Why me?

Why not? The jury duty goddess replies.
Timing is great.
First day I go back to work. Whoopee!

Premium Member Washed Rubbed Srubbed Hung Up And Left To Dry

Scrubbed rubbed the wrong way
And left hung up to dry
Blown away in the wind
Treated like a leper 
I wasn't perfect but I tried

Treated like a sinner
Condemned sentenced
Feeling small
with no judge or jury
When I hadn't sinned at all.
