 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

FLORIDA JUSTICE


the juror's listened carefully
to all the evidence
Now they could not convict on circumstantial evidence
Like a mother who waited 31 days to tell authorities
Her child was missing
What would any Florian do?
Of course--they would go dancing
Find them a new boyfriend or girlfriend
Make up stories about imaginary baby sitters?
After all they heard about duck tape--affairs
That stoic faced girl could not be a murderer?
So who was the criminal?
Bubba who actually went to college said.
Using of course common sense
"The little girl committed suicide"
"Right said another--Mom wouldn't take her dancing."
So she got into Mom's computer
And looked up ways to commit suicide.
Mom had taken all the drugs with her to dance
She went to the store and bought chlorophyll
But to hold it on she need masking tape
After all she was not very big
Climbing in the trunk was hard enough
I don't believe this but twelve jury members
in a Florida courtroom might.
Two of them needed to get to their cruise
Lets face it--it took three years to find these idiots!
It's a win win for everyone
The defense Attorney well sue the media for Millions
Casey well have money to party forever
Next three years they well all be on television with royalties
The media well recoup lost lawsuits
When the next hurricane wipes out Florida beaches
Look up---Is that a little girl?
The only thing I can't figure out
Is how she got from the trunk to the woods?
But I'm sure after they tell how sorry
they felt for this poor young mother
They well be able to explain this to me
Using their unique common sense and logic.
