The Lingo

Lawyers have a lingo That’s like gibberish to me. The same is true for those who have A medical degree. I guess with any specialty, The lingo is unique And understood by colleagues, Yet to others sounds like Greek. When language is exclusive, It’s a pathway to connect But to those without the lingo, There’s the opposite effect.

And those lawyers and doctors complain about all that lingo all through law and med school --- and then, like priests of a secret, sacred cult, they sling their $64 million words around in front of patients. Why? -- Perhaps to justify their outrageous fees, eh? :) gw
