I could never be a lawyer.

Legal writings drive me batty.

Agreements, amendments, terms,

all seemingly made up on the fly.

Everything needs to be defined.

Statements conflict with others,

Right in the same document,

Right in the next paragraph.

Incorrect facts, can’t say lies,

But an unawareness of reality.

An understanding of how things work.

I’m no lawyer, but goodness,

That might be a good thing.

Do you go with the letter,

The intent or the spirit?

No wonder laws are chaos.

How does anything get done?
