The Ballad of Rakesh Rajani, Court Reporter (Ode) by Rakesh Rajani

His brains though large and healthy, Were not destined to make him wealthy. In stature he was built like a twiglet, Being a Muslim he couldn’t eat piglet. He wished for a career in the law, As wigs and rules he did adore, However his voice was weak and strained, And when in court his gown he stained. Lacking confidence and shunned by the Bar, Our plucky young Asian whose initials are R and R, Descended the ladder of the legal profession, As statutes and contracts were his obsession. The young ethnic became a court recorder, After obtaining a degree by Mail Order, He now spends his days scribbling notes, Of those whom have sturdier throats.

I think we all know who wrote this. Not as good as Allenby. You're on a downward slope.
