A Lawyer's Journal Entry for March the 5th , 2011

Today I duped another unsuspecting fellow
and that has made me quite mellow,
but when he offered to pay me half the fee
I got disturbed , future emoluments are not my cup of tea.

I can live with adjournments I can live with delays
but money should be instantly paid.

My black coat bears on it
a long list of grievances and complaints
as also a whole lot of promises made
don't remember what became of them.

I am not loved I know this fact

not my fault , all a part of the act.

I don't like being a liar

though I like being called one

it adds to my importance and my esteem.

I don't dislike people calling me names

for they are better than my real one.

I am just just a guy making his living

why all this hue and cry?

I have always followed this motto in life

live simple and think high.

This is exactly what I do when I conduct my daily affairs

for simple drafting and arguments

I contemplate receiving high fares.

I still insist I am not a thug,

there are plenty of them already out there

I am just a simple man making my living

an existence almost thread bare.

Those who point fingers at us

should first analyse their own selves

and if they accuse us of swindling and manipulating

they should first clean their own shelves.

In this material world where there's a price

for everything there is under the sun

don't blame me for being what I am

I am just another one.
