I needed a good Judges decision for a mid week laugh.

The Fig Leaf

You sir are accused of indecent exposure, how do you plead this charge?
Not Guilty sir, my person is of decent size and conformation, nothing’s overly large,

I am an artist pure and simple, I have nothing indecent to expose.
If your honor wishes I’ll be happy to de-clothe,

There won’t be a requirement, for physical evidence of that sort,
Yours is merely a misdemeanor, there’s no need to Flash this court,

Sir I was serving as a living work of art to introduce the Nudist temple
I won the job because I have no belly button dimple ,

You see, go back to Ancient Rome and all it’s marble hero’s,
They never showed a belly button even on King Nero,

Judge said , Order! quit your stupid belly button defense,
Any laughter in this court will be at your expense,

But your Honor, my amendment rights , what are they about?
Son, There’s is nothing in our Civil law that says to let it all hang out,

His lawyer stood , raised his hand and quickly interjected
I have viewed the physical evidence your honor and thoroughly it inspected,

Let’s follow biblical clothing requirements , like for Adam and Eve,
And as a clothing community accepted , just use the ol’fig leaves,

The defendant quickly said, Your Honor I demand court justice here and more,
A manly figure such as mine is what they’re paying for ,

Judge said , I don’t wish to limit your visible means of support,
But deliberate exposure to the public is not acceptable in this court,

Council , your recommendation for the defendant? What do you suggest,
Your Honor the ol'fig leaf solution appears to be the very best,

These leaves are of perfect size to prevent any indecent exposure;
While not obscuring any other portion of his paid disclosure,

There’s a MINITURE fig tree I can rob,
And one small leaf will do the job!
