Tough Justice

The Court adjourned, and all arose;
The Judge he sighed, and rubbed his nose,
And then his eyes, for they were bleary,
Because the day had made him weary.
(Nor were his nights spent as the log -
He spent them backing up his blog.)
This Judge, it must be understood,
Thought evil bad, and justice good;
So had an awful time, of course,
Interpreting his country's laws,
Which by and large, and in the main,
Were made to spare the guilty pain,
The wealthy from undue expense,
And all the poor from recompense.
Dispensing justice from such stuff
Was quite - to put it mildly - tough.
