Many of my learned friendsWith quite divergent viewsMiraculously are ad idemOn point of payment of dues.Real courtrooms are all shutEssentials have become dearAnd in such times its painfulTo see our incomes disappear.Everyone has a tale to tellOf being left without choicesThe same tale is everywhereOf work done & unpaid invoices...A lawyer's world is very cruelWhere do they go for relief?Advocates Welfare Funds existYet many lawyers come to grief.Worst off are budding juniorsSo far away from home townsNo scope of any work or incomeBearing the brunt of lockdowns.Not all the Firms and ChambersAre being model employersWhich has left associates feelingWhy did we become lawyers?.A Council that's supposed to helpIs busy with its own games & tricksA good Organisation has fallen preyTo a coronavirus of dirty politics!.Many are thus left on the brinkNot sure whether to be or not to beI hope that everyone's clients clearTheir outstanding hard-earned fee!
