‘Twas the night before mediation
And all through the firm
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even a worm
But then one lawyer
Asleep on a couch
Shot up, hit his head
And said with an “Ouch”
Oh my, I’ve got
That mediation tomorrow
I didn’t do a brief
Much, much to my sorrow
Then what to his exhausted eyes should appear
But Mediator Snyder with news of good cheer
You don’t need it fancy
You don’t need it long
Just give me some clues
So the time’s not spent wrong
Just send me an “e”
It’s all confidential
Tell me the issues
What’s the dollar potential?
With that she was gone
The lawyer banged out a brief
He’d be ready tomorrow
Oh what a relief.
This holiday season
When your time seems too short
Turn to mediation
And stay out of court.
Happy Holidays!
