Discontented (2-Verse Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Some say, “Content cries out to be free.”
Oddly, that’s what some users decree.
Whether poetry, art,
Software, songs from the heart,
They deny there’s a rightful payee.
They think copyright laws are oppressive.
They deem fees, even tiny, excessive.
But if they don’t get paid,
Their attorney brigade
Will surely become quite aggressive.
(Sunday Scribblings prompts us with the word free.)
Those Appealing Lawyers
By Madeleine Begun Kane
A litigant’s lawyer needs zeal
When he argues a client’s appeal.
Court reversals are healing
For parties appealing,
But cause their opponents to reel.
