Questionnaire
Got a jury questionnaire –
They really have some nerve!
I’ve paid my dues; I’m not so young
And I don’t wanna serve!
There must be people willing
Or who haven’t once been called.
Perhaps it’s time the system
Was completely overhauled.
Let all of us who’ve served before
Be evermore exempt,
Or else they’ll have to deal with
Someone totally verklempt!*
*flustered, nervous, overwhelmed (Yiddish)
