That's what I love about these prompts - they take me places our of the blue!
Shush...........!
The court is once more in its session,
the accused standing there in the dock,
Her smile just a dirty-life lesson,
as she stares at thy man in the frock
The jury's been sent out a message,
not another adjournment allowed
As she stands nonchalant without presage,
her particulars sought and avowed
Some wonder about motivation,
how the story took time to collate
Arrested and charged at the station,
then an urgency to mitigate
Not quite committing a murder,
of marriages though, one might say
Never fearing a door made from girders,
till death leads her to judgement day
She will not be making plea bargains
or changing a word of her brief,
Leaving wigged ones to spill out the jargon,
of this potent and hot red lip thief
no more time to forgive or begrudge
Or care what that whole courtroom might think,
when you're secretly screwing the judge............................!

Quite the twist!
Hi fellow fish feeder/snuffer....LOL Love your blog's new look Lena! It is amazing...and the twist to your tale is perfect for the photograph!
oh no! not another screwed up judge! say it ain't so!
In American law, Undue Influence is defined as any act of persuasion that overcomes the court's objective judgment. Your excellent poem provides a fine example.
Ha! What a corker of a last line. Good to "see" you again, Helena!
Ha! I got quite the giggle this morning from your poem!
On another note, congrats on the good news about your kids and my condolences on the death of your kitty. So sad.
Oh my oh my, she has a double win here!
Well that was a surprising last line!
Must admit that last line made me laugh out loud!Even without the humorous ending it's a brilliant poem.

Ha! I wasn't expecting that last line...delightful as always...
