Thank you all for these poems! They made me laugh--a wonderful end to the working day. I'm so happy to have discovered this forum.

On the subject of (all too?) appropriate names, radio fans in the US will probably be familiar with the show "Car Talk," hosted by "Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers." In real life, Click and Clack are Tom and Ray Maggliozzi (hope I spelled that right), owners of the Good News Garage in Cambridge, MA. At the end of the radio show, during the credits, they would acknowledge the assistance of their lawyers, "Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe." One day I was walking through Harvard Square, in Cambridge, and looked up to see those names written on a second-floor window in gold script. Alas, I didn't have time to climb the stairs to find out whether there was a genuine law firm up there!
