I do - and am awed. One warning is enough - Goes without saying this is said by my attorney, just in case. I am arrested :brow: by your excellent, unusual, so original a poem! Goodness me.

You understand, I assume, that everything you wrote can and will be used against you!

Well, you have been warned: you won't threaten my client beyond the allowed! As for me, you should assume, I studied Miranda warning and rights during my first year courses at the Dept. of Law...

You have been warned:
in a crack of a second
fate can fade away
shadows speak
people improve
or they can better others,
too.

[Scheherazade]

I like the idea of this poem (not sure about the entire wording) but it is a refreshing change from your usual topics, Prince.

Eeek! Talk about a back-handed compliment! Thanks anyway.

[Buh4Bee]

Prince, this is fabulous. I love it.:D Very humorous...

I note that you (or your legal representatives)
have chosen to reply
in a manner commonly known
as "free verse."

Believe me, as you might shortly discover,
no verse is altogether free!

I like this poem, words and all.

Awesome job, Dude! No, but seriously, awesome job, dude.

But surely, you joust!

This made me chuckle, but it was a fully legal chuckle, and I want some kind of immunity regardless.

Me, I'm a charter member of the Witless Protection Program.

Well, I must say that one Wit less or more won't affect the functioning of the Program.

Prince your poem is a delight. You, and everone else who's commented have the right to be appreciated for your humor! :D Thank you for a few good laughs!

[Virgil]

I choose not to read it. :p

Only kidding. It's cute, but it needs some imaginative leap for it to transcend.

You're too right. "Cute" is all I felt I could claim for it and the/a transcendent leap, if one was to be had, eluded me.

[MorpheusSandman]

I'm with Virgil; it's cute and rather witty but it left me with only a momentary smile which is unusual for your pieces. I'm not sure what it needs though... maybe a more metaphoric take on the subject to tie it to... something. I dunno, my critical powers are failing me right now!
