Written by Lord Neaves centuries ago, but true to this day:
Ye lawyers who live upon litigants’ fees, And who need a good many to live at your ease, Grave or gay, wise or witty, whate’er your degree, Plain stuff or Queen’s Counsel, take counsel of me: When a festive occasion your spirit unbends, You should never forget the profession’s best friends; So we’ll send round the wine, and a light bumper fill To the jolly testator who makes his own will.
He premises his wish and his purpose to save All dispute among friends when he’s laid in the grave; Then he straightway proceeds more disputes to create Than a long summer’s day would give time to relate. He writes and erases, he blunders and blots, He produces such puzzles and Gordian knots, That a lawyer, intending to frame the thing ill, Couldn’t match the testator who makes his own will.
