“Law and Order”

A lawyer, on losing a case,
was angry at man as a race.
He decided to sue
All the people he knew
And again had a smile on his face.

A lawyer I met at the zoo
Was bored and suggested we sue.
He said, “Lions are lame,
And the tigers are tame.
I’d prefer some money from you.”

There was once a lawyer so kind
That he’d sue all the men who were blind.
“You have not the right
To be lacking your sight,”
Were the words of that lawyer so kind.

“To My Mother’s ‘AttorneySon’ on His Birthday” by Paul Burgess

“To My Mother’s ‘AttorneySon’ on His Birthday”
To Dustin: “Here’s a birthday card for you.
Sincerely, All the People that* you Sue.”

*”Whom” would sound too pretentious here…

5 Limericks a Day (to Keep the Dr. Away)Day 1–By Paul O’Burgess

Day 1

1.

There was once a lawyer so kind

That he’d sue all the men who were blind.

“You have not the right

To be lacking your sight,”

Were the words of that lawyer so kind.

 

 

2.

The people from a nation of note

Elected to office a goat.

“He’s not nearly as bad

As the humans we’ve had,”

Said those who for that creature did vote.

 

3.

A man who to London once came

Insisted his tiger was tame.

When a swipe of its paw

Destroyed the man’s jaw,

Was the tiger really to blame?

4.

There was once a priest so divine

Who gave me some bread and some wine.

When fell I asleep,

He attempted to peep

At my grapes and to handle my vine.

5.

I met the philosopher Hume

And battered his head with a broom.

When he begged to know why,

I would only reply,

“To name causes I’d best not presume.”
