THE DEFENSE RESTS (Free verse) by horus8 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, Iâm 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And they could no longer
Represent me in my current legal matters,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.

Geeeeeez! What are you in for?
hooray for lesbians.
I'm in for breaking wind in the master's study.
why are you so bitchy to me? we seem to agree on many matters. Why can't we be friends and heckle twisted wizard or something?
Because you called him a bastard. Remember?
he started it.
Dark Angel, oh....oh...oh. my God, is that really you?
I'm beside myself with ring kisses. listen, since i have your ear i just wanna say your Mom called and,"the donkey show's been canceled, but she said dinner is still in the oven" *Latter half of the quote provided by Evil Ed* sponsored by hasbro, Mr.clean and Dent-Or (the firm denture adhesive) Afternoon sirv
My mother is dead.
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)
left-in-the-lurch loquatious leo vs. leaving lesbian lawyer...a jaunty little tale
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.
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.
I fixed it.
