"When a jury goes to retire,
To decide if your client’s a liar,
Waiting’s a pressure,
(Hoping for refreshers)
Provided the canteen isn’t dire"

"In pre-sentence reports
It’s vital to show your remorse
Probation don’t know
If it’s real or for show
When sentencing-neither does the court"

"A silk, wild with glee,
Said “Nothing’s more pleasing to me
Than shafting a witness
By questioning his fitness
To say he saw what he’s seen"

"An old barristerial chap
Said “my practice is really quite crap!”
For a long lunch he went
(A boozy event)
And now he’s gone home for a nap."

"He’s a saviour!”
Says your clerk (offering a favour
To those who instruct)
But the barrister’s fucked
As there’s never reciprocal behaviour"

"Solicitors can be rather mean,
If you don’t stamp your CDS14,
Without Legal Aid,
No bugger gets paid,
And YOU certainly won’t earn a bean."

"Tried with ridiculous hype
#JohnTerry got Howard the stipe
A 5 day listing
His QC will be blisterin’
But his defence is a load of old tripe."
