Courtroom Verse

Courtroom Verse

A Poem by Jessie Shaw Thompson
"

A wealthy dad fights in court to not pay child support or provide health insurance

"

 

Daddy’s attorney

Is on a writing spree

Who knew a bulldog

Could pen poetry?

 

“Response to Citation

For Contempt of Court:”

We don’t wanna pay

Any child support

 

“Frivolous, vexatious

Need for health insurance”

Oh how it wounds us

This “unlawfulness”

 

“False allegation

Harassing, defaming”

We need protection

“She’ll stop at nothing”

 

“Under such duress

Dismiss with prejudice

Award costs and fees

Create a consequence”

 

Daddy’s attorney

Gave the judge the third degree

Badgered him until

He ruled against me
