Laughed out loud! Excellent! Marvellous and sooo creative! I admire your ability and talent to write such fine poetry. The poem flowed well, excellent content. As I read, I did not want the poem to end but I wanted to know what was going to happen! I was not expecting that! Brilliant!

Comment from Dom G Robles
I like this poem, with the caricature of a Judge. It is expressed in simple and sometimes alternating rhyme and rhythm which makes it unique and entertaining. The judge was so strict in his ruling and did not spare anyone from what he thinks was just punishment. Until one time a
a lady came expressed regret and repentance for all she did. The judge, McGraw, was touched and before passing judgment decided something else. She asked the lady to see him after adjournment. There was quite a twist at the end where the once honorable and uncorruptable judge became a victim of indecent exposure!

You got me with the ending ....not at all anticipated. Very clever rhyme scheme and a well measured meter. As for the behavior of the judge, well, life does offer surprises!

Thanks for the kind words - was going to foreshadow the ending a bit, but the best I could do was make him/her tall.

OK! ya got me and got me good. I'm still laughing, so much so, it's hard to see the keyboard. I see the word, 'servo', in the poem; are you from Oz? We use that term for 'filling station' because of the other goodies you can get wen putting gas in the car.
The word pictures were great and enhanced by the cartoon judge. Take five.

Yeah, one of the many kiwis forced to live here and put up with gibes about 'fush and chups' - gotta get my own back by beating you at League and Rugby and (one day) cricket!
Thanks for the kind words - the laugh is what it's all about.
