I propose short verse inspired by recent news items, the more bizarre the better. Here’s one to kick off.

You know how we seldom do one thing at a time these days? We listen to music while working or jogging, watch TV while eating, and so on. The prize has to go to the Oklahoma judge who made the most of his time in court by using a penis vacuum device while hearing cases. Jurors wondered what the strange rhythmic whining noise was and why his black cloak seemed to be moving...


All Stand, All Rise!

If airline pilots can joke around while landing,
and presidents read their mail while getting a blow,
why can’t I, while ruling or remanding,
wear a device to make my penis grow?

All stand, all rise! I overrule the objection:
The Bench conceals an honorable erection.

(Yes, I know they probably don’t actually say “All stand, all rise” in Oklahoma courts.)

And you thought the courtroom antics in Boston Legal were far-fetched!
