There once was a case set for trial,
Again and again for awhile,
Tho ready to go,
The system was slow,
Five delays from the court it compiled.

The first time the case was not reached,
I stood up and I made a speech,
Said it only was June,
And still far too soon,
To give up and go to the beach.

We hoped to be tried in July,
Which did not seem pie in the sky,
But the case has no sex,
Nor is it complex,
So the judges kept passing it by.

I scheduled the case for September,
Came October and then came November,
One time we came close,
But we ended morose,
Cause we did not get reached nor remembered.

Plaintiff’s a dialysis center,
With my client the plaintiff did enter
A contract in dispute,
About whether its mute,
If the water is paid by the renter.

My client finds it a hard pill,
That despite my incredible skill,
That he is upset,
Cause I cannot get,
The other side to pay the bill.

A trial date I’d like set in stone,
So I’ve written to you on my own,
I’m pleading in verse,
Since I can’t do no worse,
Then I’ve done up to now on the phone.
