Thus Spake Mary Reilly,

Thus Spake Mary Reilly,
“Respondeat Superior, My Ass -
Sue ‘em All”


Sue ‘em
Sue them all damn it
Someone must be to blame
For my pain, my loss
Why shouldn’t I get mine
Right now

Get in there
Fight for me, my due
My advocate
Some charge must stick
Some rule broken,
Negligence,
Don’t clutter up with facts

Start with insurance,
Take the truck, the house,
The pension, carriage house, trailer
My god, the mansion!
Boat. No, both boats
Tanks, everything
Back up the moving vans
Let them contribute.
