Someone from the Parliament was nice enough to make reference on this cite to my goofy little blog, supremecourthaiku.com, shortly after it started a little while back. Well, it has spread slowly but surely, and the ABA Journal recently took notice and wrote a little article about it for its May issue.

Not necessarily how I anticipated I might end up in the ABA Journal one day, but it's something.

The article describes you as a "self-taught poet". Is that the dignified way of saying you came up with a lot of Rally Club limericks?

We didn't even get into that, but seemingly that would be my most, er, intensive previous poetry experience. She asked me if I ever participated in poetry slams or anything like that when I lived in L.A., and I said "No, I am not a professional poet." I liked the way she worded it.

So you like people who are their own lexicographers?

It's this type of patent lawyer humor that makes accountants seem cool by comparison.

When accountants can make two plus two equal whatever I want it to be instead of just four, just like any accomplished lawyer can, then they can join the cool club.

Back when I was just an accountant, I remember having a discussion with some of my colleagues one day about how there were all these TV shows about lawyers, but none about accountants. We decided that there was a reason for that.

A Shell CPA told me that due to the tough times they can only start their new hires at $90,000 a year.
