Last Shot



Terms and condition
Conditions set on precedence 
Should eventualities manifest
These are the said words, should in case 
In conditions, such deeds are set upon 

The law man; 
Your honor, your honor 
Always plays the wise man's game 
Trying to out smart, the smart ones
You smarty pants

You see, 
In legal fees, ones to the lawyer man, paid
When I set my terms, conditions do follow
Then it becomes a pin pong ball rally
Of his terms, my terms, his terms


As it goes,
Two lawyers in-between clients 
Sat on legal fees, and fine shoes 
His terms, my terms, his terms 
Conditions do follow, "legal fees"

Smarty pants, 
Then he said, for your legal fees 
Lets see, how far he will take it
Lets call his bluff, I am thinking  
I think it is a bluff 


That's it!, yep he said, 
If elephants can do yoga, 
On balancing balls,  you did be ok
For your legal fees


It hangs in the balance, my friend
I will have to prepare you,  
For eventualities, with consultation 
Sounds like a familiar ring of 

More legal fees, smarty pants
More legal fees? 
Terms and conditions 
Why did I not become a lawyer

  4. The picture got me from the start. Ha
    You deal with the balance so well - well legal things can't balance as well as the elephant.
    Your flow was excellent as well

  10. I think the only reasons legal fees exist are to pay the high-priced lawyers and judges, and to keep the system from becoming too clogged-up.

    Nice One Shot, Kodjo!

  14. Ahaa... witty, and darned clever!! Loved the analogy!
    It's all but a game .. a game where one keeps paying and paying thru' the nose! Paying for the guilt, for the innocence...for everything!
    I see emotions laid out very masterfully in this piece... a WOW One Shot, Kodjo!!!
