In wigs and gowns we stand,
The richest in the land,
Lawyers unite!
For every will you write-
We’ll be there shedding light,
For fees above what’s right
We’ll take your money.
Lives ushered by our hand,
Squatters we will disband,
Lawyers unite!
Fall hard at work you might-
‘No win no fee’ makes light,
To court we’ll take the fight
And win their money.
You’ll get a sterling grand
If you’re dismissed unplanned,
Lawyers unite!
Contracts we draft and write-
So often overnight,
Don’t bother to be polite,
We just want your money!

Hehe such fun, this contest.
I've done my workers anthem to the tune of 'God Save The Queen'- the British National Anthem.

Excellent write! I love the repetition, and the straightforwardness of it. Thank you also for including your anthem in the notes like you were supposed to. Thank you for entering our contest. P.S. is everyone but me either a plumber or a lawyer? LOL

LOL hadn't even realized there were two of us legal fools in this contest lol love the cynical aspect of this, it was very well crafted and funny for me personally to read. thanks for the morning smile, and for sharing a great write.

Great Job
One of the few...
who didn't clean the loo
for an entry. Lawyers--much more original!
I couldn't believe it
at least three OThEr people chose cleaning bathrooms or some variation there of as well as myself (and unfortunately I'm last one to the party!) Your idea with lawyers is much, well, fresher, shall we say, in lieu of the stench associated with lawyers. Best of BEST of luck in this contest!

Clever
This made me laugh- and that is something. I think this is the best entry I've read so far... in fact you've inspired me. I'm going to have to give an entry of my own some thought.
Well done!!

A muse sing
amusing parody though perhaps stash/cash could be considered in place of take win want/money as a suggestion ?...

Awesome job here. If you hadn't said it was to the tune of "God Save The Queen" I would have never know. Great job. Good luck in the contest.
