"At 10 I was ready to go,
But the list is just being so slow;

No custody cases;
The usher’s just bringing me woe."

"When representing a thief
His intentions may shake like a leaf
If he changes his plea
To one of guilty
Just make sure you endorse the brief"

"Bugger,the barrister thought
In 4 days off work I’ve done naught
It’s gone by so quick
Now I’m in the shit
As tomorrow I’ll be back in court"

"The infamous #TwitterJokeTrial
Went on for quite a while
Poor old Paul Chambers
Made jokes to some strangers
And now he’s awaiting retrial"

"Two judges couldn’t agree
So they are set to be three
Hopefully not to resile
In the #TwitterJokeTrial
From principles keeping speech free"

"Psychos and alcoholics
Counsel engaging in frolics
But why is #Silk poor?
Because it ignores law?
Or the fact that the advocacy’s bollocks!"

"Oh really what is the use!”
Said the lad (his face turning puce)

For my pupilmaster

"Reaching Friday with glee
The prospect of 4 days off free
But Counsel was glum
To realisation he’d come
That no court meant getting no fee"

"Interviews can be a bit hairy,
Barristers can be frankly scary,
But the #pupillage process,
Is rather a mess
In the end it’s quite arbitrary"

"A clerk with sadistic bent
To faraway courts often sent
Barristers out of favour
Are often heard to quaver
Where the fuck’s Stoke on Trent?!"
