Lawyers are not paid to be nice;
they’re expected to always win.
one can say it once, say it twice,
.
“If you want to take their advice,
you should know before you begin:
Lawyers are not paid to be nice.”
.
They have their sin; they have their vice–
some with drink, the other with tags.
one can say it once, say it twice,
.
because she’s seen every slice–
including all of poets and novelists,
“Lawyers are not paid to be nice.”
.
But if you have suffered malice
and do not want to sacrifice ,
one can say it once, say it twice,
.
“If you want to win, pay the price;
let the legal process begin.”
Lawyers are not paid to be nice;
one can say it once, say it twice.
