Happy Tryin' Cases!
by
Hardy Parkerson
I've practiced law for thirty years or more;
Defended killers, rapists and once a whore.
I've even represented pimps;
And I've been held for four contempts.
At tryin' cases some say I'm the best,
And with the gift of blarney I've been blest;
I'd represent the Devil for a fee,
And sometimes I even represent 'em free.
Many are the closing arguments I have made,
And sometimes I even take my fee in trade;
And 'though my practice takes me many places,
I'm happiest in the courtroom tryin' cases.
