Working hard

The law is a jealous mistress
Needs all our time every week
No time is left for husband, wife
Prospects of harmony are bleak

Some CEO said work 90 hours
For us lawyers that's a discount
It is really a wonder therefore
How arrears continue to mount

Hardest is to get a paying client
And ensuring he stays and pays
Through dates and adjournments
Accepting our excuses for delays

Artificial Intelligence is of no use
To deal with stupidity anywhere
In any major mess you'll discover
Intelligent lawyers will be there

We work hard for the rule of law
Not just to get our fees we toil
We passed exams by cramming
We're used to burning midnight oil

Corporate honchos notwithstanding
It's lawyers who shaped the nation
We can beat anyone in working hard
And also in enjoying every vacation!
