TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE MEDIATION

Friday, 02 December 2011 03:06 |

Written by Debbie Yeoh (original poem by Clement Moore)

‘Twas the night before mediation, when all through my mind,

Not a thought was stirring, not even a line.

Their documents were hung in my briefcase with care,

In hopes that a settlement soon would be there.

The disputants were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of winning danced in their heads.

And my co mediator in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap.

Had just settled a case that deserved a long clap.
