In A Recent 5-4 Ruling

by Jack Locke

In a recent 5-4 ruling
The Supreme Court decided
That a school of fish schooling
Had into a shark suicided.

The presumption of consumption
Was clearly prejudicial,
We must assume that assumption
And that death by intention is official.

While no autopsy was conducted
And no remains found
The coroner incorrectly deducted
That the cause of death was sound.

And though the chewing was likely loud
Costs to the shark, appeal disallowed.
