When no one cares about the legislation;
It makes the legislators feel like fools
And often bubbles into indignation.
The net result can be stultification
As rules unchanged will harden and grow brittle;
They sometimes need a massive perturbation
To help improve them even just a little.
And yet instead the legislators whittle
Shaving only small parts from the side
They argue over every jot and tittle
While letting larger problems sleep and slide.
If we and they cared more perhaps they might
Care more about if law is always right.
