Whiplash
by
Hardy Parkerson
The lawyer went to court and then
Pled his case that he might win.
Throughout the trial the judge did doze,
Until he heard the plaintiff close.
"Your Honor, I know this case is boring;
But as I said when you were snoring,
Defendant failed to use due care;
Now plaintiff's damages he must repair.
"We've made our case and filed our brief;
Now we ask for just relief.
We've waited patiently for this day,
Now it's time defendant pay.
"The plaintiff's neck did whip and lash;
Now she needs a stash of cash
To compensate her for her pains,
Cervical and lumbar strains."
