Habeas Corpus

 

 

 

Rosealetta Guttenberg

the daughter of a lawyer -

had golden locks, a winning smile

and eyes a lovely blue -

but was born without recognizance

and knew not what to do.

 

When suitors would petition

his daughter for to court,

he’d clarify position

and firmly he’d retort,

 

To devolve, he stated bluntly

I expound on my position

I’ll make it brief, and then sum-up

this simple admonition -

 

The rule of perpetuities

the orders and the trust -

must all be met

and in good faith -

or tis your head I’ll bust.

 

Little Wally Klankle

a barrister to be -

said, “Caution Mr. Guttenberg

you can not threaten me.”

 

I believe your admonition

has gone a bit too far -

I shall slap you with a lawsuit -

take you up before the Bar.

 

When all the dust had settled

and recess came their way -

The point was mute - they can't dispute

Miss Demeanor ran away.
