If I Were A Judge… (Limerick)
I worked as a lawyer for over a dozen years, but I’ve never been a judge. And that’s probably just as well. Because my rulings might sound something like this:
If I Were A Judge…
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Your argument doesn’t make sense.
It’s absurd and illogical. Hence,
I must find for the plaintiff.
You’ve lost this insane tiff.
You simply don’t have a defense.
Both Totally Optional Prompts and Miss Rumphius prompt poets to write as somebody else this week. So I’ve posted as an ornery judge … instead of my usual ornery self.
And speaking of prompts, there’s still time to participate in my walking-related prompt.

Madeleine you are my kind of lawyer !! :-)
We need a judge that would be like that. It’s not like the judicial system works, anyway.
Please reconsider – you’d be a fine kinda judge!
excellent!
Sounds like a lot of judges in the UK :-)
In India too..
:D
oh, yes! I think the court system could use some more common sense.
and an excellent ornery judge you are… i will have to remember that should i ever fall back into my evil ways…..
nice judge here… :)
Nice one Mad, you judged well!
See, now I could stand to read more legal opinions like that…
Mad my old friend, it has been a long time since I’ve spoken to you. I hear you been having some fun times with Brian and the gang. Wish I had been there.
I have been very ill for a while but look forward to writing poems.
I love your Limericks as always, well done. You remind me of my father. He was the king of Limericks in my house/ Every question was answered with a Limerick. Wish I could do that. Great stuff. :-)
love, Melanie-bd
This one is my favorite so far. I’m not acquainted with the court, but, as a teenager, I read every Perry Mason book I could get my hands on, and I loved the lingo.
