In keeping with the holiday season, I thought I'd use a little artistic license in reworking Clement Clarke Moore's poem, that, by the way, is actually originally titled "A Visit from St. Nicholas." This was originally penned for a business group I attend, but, at my staff's urging, I've incorporated it as my latest blog. Although clearly meant to elicit a smile, there is a message in it that transcends the holidays….divorce can be peaceful. I hope that's one holiday message you take to heart!
T'was the night before X-Mas and all through the house,
There was a lot of fighting among many a spouse.
Momma was locked in a fearful stare
Hoping the police soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their bed,
While dad threw something at momma's head.
For the Jews it was a latka, for the Christian it was beer,
That was their meaning of holiday cheer.
When out from the roof they heard a great clatter
Why it's family law atty Cindy Vova arriving and looking much fatter.
Quicker than "briefs" her staff they came
As she whistled and shouted and called them by name:
On Vicki and Helvi and of course Helena
We gotta fix this before things get any "meana"
With a briefcase full of books and memos of law
I listened as she read the list of them all:
Injunction, alimony and equitable distribution,
child support a parenting plan...I have a solution.
Yes the resolution to your marital consternation
Is to send you both quickly to mediation!
And all of the sudden on that X-Mas eve
Those two realized they could settle before she would leave
And as quick as she came, she fled from the site.
Merry X-mas Happy Hanukkah to all and to all a good night
Amazed the couple watched as she continued with her journey
And all they could say is "that's one hell of an attorney!"
Whatever your beliefs, however you celebrate, on behalf of my office, I wish everyone peace, prosperity and happiness in the new year!
