The Prosecutor Versus The Felon

This is a different time, a new season These days, crimes seem to pay For a multitude of obvious reasons As we all know by now, this is another day Full of surprises, felons don’t go to prisons They have top-notch official protection Twenty four hours a day, this is truly insane It won’t be easy for the prosecutor to nail This perpetrator who is as slick as a sultry snail He knows how to accelerate like a thief in the fast lane The prosecutor has his work cut out for him. Gender Does not matter, since justice has no boundaries We simply have to watch carefully the technicalities Stand by to follow the next move or the next procedure This is a new season; this is obviously a different time Let’s wait and see what happens in primetime; a crime Is taking place somewhere. I hope that the criminal is caught Red-handed in the jelly jar. This dude has done plenty, a lot Of transgressions to sail him off to jail for the rest of his life All the evidence suggests he’s guilty. We hope that his wife Will appear in court this time. Prosecutors don’t lose easily Let’s stay tuned for another episode, another day of comedy. Copyright © July 2024, Hébert Logerie, All rights reserved.
