"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)
“I can’t work any faster
For my pupilmaster
It’s frankly just pupil abuse"

"It’s not just a sin of omission
Delays to pay barristers wishin
To settle their debts
And chambers’ rent
Damn the Legal Services Commission!"

"There is a Temple called Inner
That serves a superlative dinner
Masters get plastered
Amid drink and laughter
But now I’m much less thinner"

"There once was a moot held at speed
An astonishing thing indeed
Much like speed-dating
Submissions given verbatim
For skeletons - no need!"

"RT @MTStudents: The MTSA are planning to run a Speed Moot in June provided that 24 teams submit their names to the Mooting… http://t.c …"

"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"

"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?!"
