------ JUSTICE

Anyone know first word?

Poetic, I'd say. Poetic Justice .

It's from one of the songs in Gilbert and Sullivan's Mikado, all about letting the punishment fit the crime...

"let the punishment fit the crime" springs to mind, but that doesn't give the asnwer

You're probably right. Don't understand the Gilbert connection. The clue overall has a rhyming quality like a poem.

Thanks, Whetstone. If it's using words, lines, from the poem on the subject of justice... Poetic Justice doesn't seem too bad. I had wondered about Poetic Licence, but you'd given us Justice.

PS I'm not a fan of G and S, so gave the information on Wiki only a quick glance!

Thought it might be to do with Gilbert and Sullivan...yes the answer is POETIC JUSTICE
