By popular request (click here for the backstory), and for dVerse's Open Link Night #196, I present....
Voir Dire Limerick #2! The prosecutor was in a huge hurry, so he paid no attention to selection of jury. From that mistake it transpired he lost and was fired and now he's got reasons to worry.

Funny -- but who can feel sorry for a lawyer -- seriously?

Well, I'm not feeling sorry for myself today, but there are a lot of great lawyers who do some really tough, thankless work for almost no pay. I know a lot of people think, "rich guy in a suit in an office in a high rise" when they hear "lawyer," but the truth these days is much more accurately reflected by the opposite, for the vast majority of lawyers.

I admire anyone who can write a good limerick—and about lawyers too! Not the funniest of professions :)

If it were a big enough case to be fired over, I'm surprised he was in such a hurry. A good, unexpected limerick.

Nice continuation of the voir dire limericks. I guess it is important to get the right jurors.

That's funny, it reminds me of a time my boss, (a JP), impaneled an impromptu jury for an angry truck driver, who demanded a trial by jury right now. Well, the Judge sent the bailiff to the corner store at lunch time and shortly there were 12 very angry diners to decide his mistake. The jury threw the book at him, big mistake. Never separate a dozen working people from their lunch
