The Con Law Prayer

I’d like to begin this by issuing a warning to you. If you do not enjoy puns, awful law school humor or the like, you should just leave right now. When it comes to finals time, I’m easily distracted. And then I spit out idiotic poems.


O! Nestled in the bosom of the Eleventh Amendment I rest,
Sweet, sweet immunity – shield me
For judgment day looms in the morn’


Yea! Hear me Son of Mann Act!
I cannot, for I am no sovereign
And I act not under color of law


Lo! Spawned in 1984 was I
Yet 1983 is my sword of vengeance!
My rights floating within the penumbra
Seize and onload thine rights
The pasties await


As I walk through the Valley Forge College
I fear not the Wickard nor the Fillburn
For I walk forth, towards the City of New London
Free, knowing, without Quarles, nor Dred
And I Wade into the stream, launch my boat
And I Roe into the mists of process due
For my goal, I will know it when I see it
