Flotsam and Jetsam (Classic Reprint) by Albert Winston Gaines (Paperback / softback, 2015)

Excerpt from Flotsam and Jetsam A gentle Muse who said to me That actually she could t see Why lawyers should t paint in rhyme The glories of the law sublime. I told her that in law's domain Was naught to catch the poet's strain, That in the realms of legal lore, The wings of fancy fail to soar, And that there was citadel Of law up where the Muses dwell. She said from text-books and the code She'd t expect a lyric ode, Nor from the digest I'd prepare An epic or an idyl rare; But yet she thought I might betimes Indite some pointed, rambling rhymes. I looked again, and then I saw She was the comic Muse of law, And so, methought, perhaps I might Some sort of limping lines indite, Which, tho' they'd shamble 'cross the sheet, They'd amble on poetic feet.
