Letty vs. FPL; Chase Manhattan; AT&T.

Your honor, may I approach the bench?
May I act in my own defense?

He banged his gavel and
glowered at the lassie.
"You look a bit unraveled,
and your tone is rather sassy.
If you do not relent,
I'll hold you in contempt"

Contempt is what I hold
For these corporations bold,
So I'll stand here til I'm
Told to depart.

I may not yet be winning,
But it's a start.

Inspired by Phoenix

@Letty,

reading that, Im now convinced we should have court reporters present their news in verse. Itd be waay more fun and instructive than the same old repetitious bullshit news .

@farmerman,

No lie. Did ya ever follow a trial report in the paper? Its all same old same old with the literary interest of a telephone book.

@farmerman,

Nope, never have farmerman. Hmmm, wonder if we send this poem to the district court judge we'll get something new started. It's rather like a military court martial. Joe Jones vs the United States of America. Doh!

@edgarblythe,

A well hung jury. OOPS I meant A HUNG JURY declares a mistrial. I have an extension from FPL.

Now I will have to cut to the CHASE and see what I can do.
My wind storm policy seems lacking,
I guess I'll have to renew.

What can all this be about?
This woman wish she knew
