What? You mean the client list vanished?      Disappeared?
Disappeared from the AG’s desk like dropping egg prices?
Disappeared like old jobs returning to coal mines, mills, and
Factories?            Like the reign of peace in the MiddleEast?

Before he hangs himself with 
Dental floss; or a garbage bag; or
Falls from a 10th floor window; or
Jumps in front of a train; or skids off the road

Before you suicide another accused
Serial pedophile predator—
Who might flip and name names—
Before he has a heart attack; or viagra overdose

Quick! Call the Cream Team!
Ain’t Slick Willy a lawyer?
Ain’t Dershbag a lawyer? Surely, they both know Bad
Hombre Defense, and its certainty of reasonable doubt?

He’s Rich. He’s White. He’s Christian. He Can 
Have any woman he wants! Why would a man
Of his stature; with his power; fool around with
Teen trailer trash? Ask yourself, why? Why?

Besides, he would never—Ever—touch a teenaged
Child! Why, he’d rather be chemically castrated
With Clorox—by the Devil himself—then touch a
Child! He swears on the stack of Bibles he’s hawking.

Maybe Mexican-murderer-rapists— Bad Hombres
From below The Border— stole his
Passport, boarded the financier’s plane, frequented
Mansions and impersonated him with teenage girls?

Maybe Mexican-murderer-rapists— Bad Hombres
From below The Border—filed false flight plans and flew The Lolita
Express to Orgy Island? Slick Willy swears he was asleep … Maybe
Tattoo could testify to it, “De plane, de plane, boss!” if he wasn’t dead?
