.2. Barrister Poem by David Threadgold

.2. Barrister

Rating: 5.0


Could I have been a barrister?
Black cloak and curly wig
With many piles of paperwork
Defending Mr. Big

I’d call up any witness
For evidence they’re liable
Before they speak a single word
All swear upon the bible

I've often wondered what the curly wig was for. It always reminded me of George Washington. And the black robes look like graduation gowns so when in the court room, you're either left wanting to laugh or being scared witless. Any way, this was a great little poem. Again, Dave, you have a way of finding humor in the ordinary. That is an art in itself. Well done! (10)

Again, I enjoyed this. Civil work is better though... wigs are so bad for the hair.... :) t x
