Lawyers buying artwork of themselves inside the Court
Are ripe for escalating such fine vanity to sport.
A couple thousand bucks and ev'ry hometown Clarence Darrow
Is depicted standing tall and straight as any arrow,
Defending truth and innocence before the bar of Justice
With the noble bearing of a Caesar or Augustus.
Warts and wrinkles disappear from off their modest faces
As they jaw away in style while snapping on their braces.
Such flattery, if laid on thick, must have good money in it.
As grand old P.T. Barnum said: "There's one born ev'ry minute!"
