COURTROOM SAW SOME BAD GUYS


We were just visiting
She embezzled three times
what I made in a lifetime
But her case once again
was delayed for a month
Two years now and she hasn't
missed a nail appointment
The next guy pleaded guilty
to cocaine second offense
Sorry Judge, the smug look
said hard time didn't scare
He will be back again
Next loser was even worse
His hairdo straight from Star Wars
He shuffled out like he won the case
But the Judge's look read just
a technical delay
Next they brought in those already
in jail--Some real hard core losers
The attempted murder guy with tattoos
"Do not pass Go!" But he seemed remorsefull
Next was the little lady sitting in front
of us who I thought looked like my Granddaughter
She covered her face as she walked up and
pleaded guilty and waved to one of the
next defendent still in the court waiting.
So the girl is given a lecture by the Judge
Mom gave her some of her drugs so she could
face the judge---three guys and three girls
All tough and defient are brought in in chains.
It was enough for one day for me.
