The Opinion THERE is silence in the courtroom, And the lawyers in array, Sitting quietly expectant, For it is opinion day ; All the lawyers look so anxious And so nervous-like beside, You d conjecture from their faces, That the bar was being tried ; Dignified and proud, his Honor, With a supercilious smile, Looks relentless on his victims, As he fingers with the file ; Then he launches his opinion In the case of plaintiff Doe, Gainst my client, the defendant, By the name of Richard Roe.
First, ...methinks I have detected Intimations just a trace Of a leaning toward defendant, As his Honor states the case ; As he threads the tangled mazes, Of the facts and of the law, 30 Flotsam and Jetsam Pointing out the plaintiff s laches, Picking here and there a flaw, Then my nerves become more quiet, And a smile creeps o er my face, For I m feeling fairly sanguine That I may have won the case; But then, just as I m feeling That I am about to get A decision, then his Honor Thunders forth the words: "But yet " What was sunshine now is shadow, And the smile fades from my face, As his Honor, growing serious, Freely comments on the case; As he quotes from the citations, And the evidence he weighs, Tween the plaintiff and defendant, Like a pendulum he sways ; With the seeming vacillations, Hope and prospects rise and fall, I m so flustered with the fidgets, I can scarce sit still at all ; Then his Honor summarizes, And, discussing the relief, Calls me learned, able counsel, And he compliments my brief; The Opinion 31 Me he lauds and eulogizes, With such kindliness and grace, That my spirits sink within me, For I know I ve lost the case.
