My British lawyer is a poet, too.
His briefs are metered, quilled, and billable
(but never brief) when he does work for you,
because he charges by the syllable.

Thank you, Jon. Just trying to wake my muse from hibernation, and the billable/syllable rhyme hit me.
I appreciate it.

That should've delivered a sufficient jarring, loved it, David. It left me grinning. Ron

Imagine finding poetry right there on your desk, muh cara. ;D
Loved it. Especially love the way this verse sounds and moves.

Dave, I think we are suffering from the same sleepy inspiration. For me it was too much political stimuli. I'm so glad its finished! This one seems to be a good re-entry.

Hilarious. A fun read. Good triple-meaning and, like Jon noted, assonance.
got a chuckle out of me.
Love, rd
