Pity The Poor Lawyer (Limerick)

Pity The Poor Lawyer
By Madeleine Begun Kane

“Your billable hours are low,”
Said the partner. “They simply must grow.
It behooves you to hike them
Or better, please spike them.
To lunch breaks and sleep, just say no!”

(This is but one of many reasons why I’m a “recovering lawyer.” You can find more of my law humor here.)

    As she learned that her life was in hock
    To a clock-punching firm
    While her boss, who’s a worm,
    Made her wonder if law’s just a crock.

    The Carnival of Satire (#79)…

    Welcome to our regular roundup of satire on the blogosphere (or the part of it that submitted something, anyway). We have some great stuff this week, beginning (predictably, for you regulars) with a post that has the word “monkey” in it:

    […] To inspire you, look at Capital Chronicle’s adaptation of the Shakespearean sonnet to poke fun at the US sub-prime debt issue. (RJHA - I take it you wouldn’t be averse to a drop of NZ Pinot Noir in recompense for stealing your idea?).  Update: Also check Madeline Kane’s limerick ‘Pity the poor lawyer‘. […]
