A federal judge's limerick in response to a 465 page complaint

"Plaintiff has a great deal to say,
But it seems he skipped Rule 8(a).
His Complaint is too long,
Which renders it wrong,
Please re-write and re-file today."

    There once was a clerk for the Judge
    Who never bore a grudge
    She didn't write long
    But loved to wear thongs
    To lawyers she was the bomb

    Such a mysonginist...

    There once was Judge's clerk
    And boy, was he a jerk
    The black robe he thought
    was his to sport
    but mentally he was too short.
