My dear Plutarch, if you must promote your profession with lawyer jokes, please keep in theme and promote in rhyme. Forgive me, Father Steve, not so much for what I am about to say but for my enjoyment in saying it oh so much. I know this is true I saw it on Drudge Science has finally classified lawyers; They are the larval stage of a Judge.

larval stage
Themilum, do you really want to get "larval"* with Sparteye?
He didn't make much of his own poem, but he could make a bunch outta yours! It's called libel, themilum.
Your judgeship could get benched for your wit, when Sparteye comes down with his writ. [Just say it was a "typo".]
Actually, "larval stage" is kinda cute, themilum. I'm just glad I didn't write it. :)
I don't wanna do time for my rhyme. I just wanna have a good time.
* You never wanna bite at anything which can bite back, themilum. That goes for insects ["larval" or not] and especially for "snakes" and "sharks". :)

More likely Sparteye will sue me for intimidation, Lawyer Plutarch, I am of the people and you lawyers build your nice summer homes on thin ice. Besides, the punch line of the joke is actually this... Lawyers are the larval stage of politicians!I changed "politician" to "Judge" because the word "politician" didn't rhyme with "Drudge". Sue me.

Sue me.
How can you sue the Judge?
Guess you called my bluff, huh?
Does this mean I am permanently relegated to Place Two in a field of two?
What about a field of one?

Aw shoot, Plutarch, sure I forgive you. For one thing you seem to share my common sense approch to judging. Hey, I just had a great idea! Let's go all out! Let's buy only the best of wines as our poetry prizes. Money is no object. But that's not the good part. What we'll do is name each bottle of wine in honor of one of the the ladies of this board. In other words the prize for the best poem without cheating might be called the " Jackie". Get it? Sorta like the Oscars but instead of a trophy our prize would be an expensive bottle of vintage wine. Good idea huh? What do you think?

Good idea, themilum. Why not have the ladies take up a collection.

Themilum's Spring Collection
Perhaps we're straying a little off topic here, themilum.
AnimiaL might have another limerick to post. Or even Sparteye. Well, perhaps not Sparteye. I think it'll be a while before he gets over your last review. [And who can blame him?]
Maybe we're getting a little ahead of ourselves. Do we really need all these labels? Perhaps we only need a label for "Place Two". It's the only entry we can really count on, you know. No point in wasting all that wine.

A pixie, once joyful and merry Mistook a time bomb for a cherry! As the time bomb was ticking... (I know what you're thinking) ...This poem ends most airy fairy.
Yup, airy fairy meaning impractical (or ridiculous, I guess, in this case) and also airy because... well the fairy exploded.

We don't need to wait for themilum to judge that one, A-L. You've broken a couple of meddlesome rules and taken this art form to a whole new level. KA-BOOM! A worthy tribute to "Heere's Johnny!" on his way out. Did you know Johnny Carson's Show by the way - presumably from reruns?
