Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Touche'

Retired President U.S. Grant
Walked into an inn for a beer.
Two lawyers out to galavant,
Were near the fireplace in high cheer.
Not recognizing who Grant was,
But noting his shabby wardrobe,
Assumed he was a vagrant scuz,
And addressed him in mocking probe.
"Stranger, you look like you're from hell."
"Getting here must have been a hike."
Said one.The other teased as well.
"Tell me stranger, what is hell like?"

"Just like here." Grant said with no ire.
"Lawyers all closest to the fire."
