Summer Associates #2

Should law students hoping to work as summer associates at the nation's largest firms be worried that the work will be too difficult?  Well, no.  Because it's not about the work. It's about . . . . drinking beer.   

I know.  I've been there.  To illustrate, I've used my own experiences as fodder for an ode, written in the voice of the big law firms wooing their summer associates.  As a bonus, my ode comes complete with links to photos of actual summer associates drinking beer:

To Their Coy Summer Associates

They do have world enough, and time
So if they drink, it is no crime.
Maybe a little, perhaps a lot
We'll coo to them: Forget us not;
Here's a Bud to wet your lips
Or maybe Amstel's a bit more hip.
Just keep in mind, we're here for you
(We'll reel you in, then make you blue.)
So drink our beer in plastic cups
And repeat again: Forget us not.
You say a cup's not enough for you?
Then have a pitcher, it's your due.
The summer's young, our goal is fun;
Please have another before you run.
Hide it in your hand if you're uptight
Or advertise your beer in neon lights.
You say a dozen's not enough for you?
Well, hold on, then -- there's a brewery tour.
We'll know you're loose when you act bizarre
And even women smoke cigars.
And then we'll ask you, in a whispered voice:
Hey, Mr. Law Student, have you made your choice?
And you'll be ours, and we'll be yours
(Barring death by drinking, or force majeure).
