THE DEFENSE RESTS

My public defender has just announced to me With no words, just his rapidly weakening posture That he was ready to surrender His name was Jacque His movements clearly said "Let's just roll over on our Prides And offer up our bellies in defeat" But I can't, I’m a Leo. God, who raised this spineless coward? He's sounds like a gay French Canadian with vodka and Bennies "This was my new lawyer?" You see, during the last courtroom recess I was informed by my fantastic lesbian legal team CACs (Court appointed cunts) That began the morning defending me They said my case had become "A conflict of interests" And they could no longer Represent me in my current legal matters, but not to worry because there was another lawyer On his way up (Fucking Jacque) From a nearby courthouse Who would be able to assist me Without having a conflict of interests My reply to that of course was "Well what exactly is your conflict?" The older former hippie lesbian slack wearer (She seemed in my opinion to be the brains behind it all) Squinted her eyes down at me And slowly stated from underneath a bleached flat top "That it was neither my concern Nor business (I think it was because the femme of the two had a soft spot for me) So, I apologized, and replied that I must have been in the wrong courtroom Because just a moment before I could have sworn That I was the client, and that they were the service providers?" "But now that communicating normally Has been outlawed I'll just take out my God Damn Blindfold and cigarette now before that becomes A conflict of interests too?" The Dike was unmoved A total fucking bitch.

Do you guys at all mind if I take the thoughts back to the poem and you can resume round 2 later? Ok I really like this reads like prose but the story is really interesting I like all the bits in () which add a feeling of what exactly you think of people ion the court room. Good like it. (9)

And here I thought you were a pansy. What you and Jacque didn't go "do lunch"? The only thing of yours that I have been able to stomach thus far. Cuz I like Dikes especially with "Ice~man" flat tops. Top gun ruled!

This is the best thing yet I've read of yours. It's bleeding funny. It's laconic. Lovely.

glad you approved ole' boy....somethings are just to good to not be true, and that's when they "become". unfortunately that's about right at the time that i "succumb" irony is the tac that thumbed the lion.o

I think if this poem were upside down, it would make a good deal more sense. Or a least if you worked out the typos and grammar whacks out of the last stanza. Poor overworked public defenders. They are fighting for and justice for all, you know. They probably had slept in two weeks for all the fuzz bumping. If you wouldn't have been caught like a good criminal you would not have been in that situation. So are you a bad criminal, unskilled???...by the way is that really a big bulge.....ummmm. yummy.
