From The Shadow Cursor: Cherry Pickin’ Limerick

by The Shadow

There’s been at bar a guileful attorney named John Dicken,
Whose duty of candor’s been dashed by his cherry pickin.’
By selectively citing from transcripts of many a witness,
He changed “up” to “down” and “black” into “white” like nobody’s business.
Good that John’s notoriety now most jurists does sicken.
