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.

I enjoyed this very entertaining read
Legal entanglements that eat up time, money and patience. Interesting write
