poetry is the law

Here's something to chew on:  According to this dude, Innis Claude said that law is the poetry and politics the prose of government.  What a nice analogy. It's not as if I am changing what I think when I write, whether that be the law, politics, or prose, anyway.  So here's another re-blog from that dude I mentioned above, directly from an opinion authored by the Court of Appeals of Michigan:

A wayward Chevy struck a tree
Whose owner sued defendants three.
He sued car’s owner, driver too,
And insurer for what was due
For his oak tree that now may bear
A lasting need for tender care.

The Oakland County Circuit Court,
John N. O’Brien, J., set forth
The judgment that defendants sought
And quickly an appeal was brought.

Court of Appeals, J.H. Gillis, J.,
Gave thought and then had this to say:
1) There is no liability
Since No Fault grants immunity;
2) No jurisdiction can be found
Where process service is unsound;
And thus the judgment, as it’s termed,
Is due to be, and is,

Affirmed.

Nice.
