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.)

How did the junior member react?
The associate listened in shock
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.
Very cool, Paul. I always enjoy your “companion limericks.”
Nicely done!
Thanks Maureen!
