Gentlemen under a
solemn call
Who dine and wine in
the Bar of the Law
Before the Bench, they
stand tall
Pleading the cause of
men in open door’
Their language is all
Greek to the Lay
Who strive all night
and day
Seeking to break the
mystery of their wits
Cracking through their
words, bit by bit
On their noble heads
lies the ‘lying’ stigma
Held highly strong like
the Catholic dogma
But the saintly tongue
of posterity
Will bear witness to
their integrity
Whatever the cascade of
reactions
Only the Nobles on Wigs
and Gowns
Wear the glory of the
‘Learned’ Crown
Unkingly crown having no
reversion
