An ode to Legal.
You cannot say that, it isn't true.
Oh please don't list the things we do.
I know we told you otherwise,
But plug your ears and close your eyes.
At all times play it safe and cautious,
Don't make a claim, it makes us nauseous.
Do not take chances, do not be bold,
When legal speaks, do as you're told.
Don't be fancy, don't be cute,
That's cause for a class-action suit.
Say nothing, water-down all claiming,
At least your ad won't be defaming.
It's time, you know, give up the fort.
Otherwise, we'll meet in court.*
