The Judgement of the Forty-four trees Part III

Anthony “Tappy” Paull

A woodcutters lament  time passed now you see

Yet still continues the story of the forty four trees

 

The police now are acting to seek the truth

But stories now told them are full of untruth

 

The defendants claim that the woodcutter refused

To take away trees and they were not amused

 

Now armed with a lawyer to make good their plea

Were they indeed the victim and the woodcutter guilty

 

The police now confused by this turn of events

Seek clarification so notice to the woodcutter was sent

 

It says to attend to the station you see 

To answer the question of the defendant’s plea

 

The woodcutter now confused at this new development

Seeks his own legal advice on who should be sent

 

To answer such things who can that be

a Lawyer, the woodcutter and her daughter you see

 

But the daughter no longer lives with her mum

But now in Korea where she work from

 

But the Woodcutter and her brother with lawyer did go

But alas the Police wanted the daughter to show

 

For an eye witness account was what they needed

To prosecute the defendants who now had conceded

 

So the woodcutter won in kind of a way

But no conviction was recorded on that day

 

The police found the woodcutters story was true

And then told the woodcutter what she should do

 

Your lawyer should beckon the courts to request

The refund of all monies lost in this quest

 

This include lawyer and all legal costs

That were caused by the defendant and the woodcutter lost

 

Now it seems with this story we may have a happy end

But while we are waiting will the outcome still bend

 

I think this time the defendants must pay

Because they are guilty at the end of the day.

  • Comment from author about the poem: This is based on a true story that has now been going on for nearly a year. It had caused everyone involved a lot of frustration so I felt that it deserved to be told but in an entertaining and upbeat way. This is the third instalment I hope you enjoy it.
