Celebrating Legal Triumphs
Casselman at the Bat
Written by our client, Roger Guydon, celebrating the success of Guydon v. City of L.A., et al.
(The original poem is Casey at the Bat by Ernest Thayer.)
Gary and Roger Guydon holding the settlement check
The lad looked at the Awesome Champ
And quivered from honest fear
But consoled himself, by repeating
Gary Casselman is here.
Everything was finally ready
For the battle to begin
The Referee sat dead center [Judge Merelis.]
And opened with a grin.
“My judges” he said, “are seated,
All Twelve, just to my right;” [Jurors]
And they are here to help me
Select the winner of this fight.”
There are no further motions
The matter is underway
Attorney Gary Casselman (David)
Has a giant to slay [Goliath]
Then Casselman took the podium
And carefully surveyed the scene
Resting for a moment on the giant
Who looked both grim and mean.
Eleven arms hung from the giant [11 cops testified.]
Menacing and unreal
And each arm was fortified
With at least a pound of steel [Cops wore guns in court.]
Now close your eyes, if you can
And try bringing into your sight
The battle that was taking place
As Casselman began to fight.
Casselman swung from every angle
With blows of devastation
As arm after arm of the giant fell
From self-incrimination
Lying crumpled and in pain
Upon the courtroom floor
Their eyes pleading for mercy
For they could stand no more
So leave my people alone, said Casselman
No more cuffs and baseball bats
Because, like Homey the Clown
Gary Casselman, 'Don't Play That'
The giant then bowed his head in shame
'Cause he knew that he'd been beat
Then he knelt and slobbered on the floor
At Gary Casselman's feet
Because the giant was so big
He knew he was gonna win
But when you encounter Gary Casselman
ANYTHING’S possible, my friend.
