In the annals of the law
these four will ever stand,
as models of brave rectitude
and fundamentals grand.
Kravis and Zelinsky,
Mr. Jed, and Marando --
Integrity embodied;
they have struck a ringing blow!
They truckled not, these heroes,
when their D-O-J exec
demanded their compliance
to on Justice place a check.
Disdaining all ambition
and defying rigid fate,
these four resigned the case en mass --
they had to play it straight!
From Olympus thunder came:
"These pipsqueaks must be birched!"
"They've made a mock of my decrees,
and my great name besmirched!"
Poor Kravis was denied a spot
in any firm of lawyers;
he now sells candy by the box
in arena foyers.
Zelinsky was demoted
and is notary on-call;
he sits on wooden benches,
sadly waiting in the hall.
Mr. Jed was hounded
out of town and now resides
in London as a mudlark,
always waiting for low tides.
And Michael J. Marando,
with a stoicism firm,
stays unemployed, subsisting
on skim milk and raw wheat germ.
These famous four forevermore
will fill our hearts with pride.
We'll build their statues in the park
and have them purple dyed.
And when the times are troubled
to our children we will quote:
"Remember how they lost their jobs,
so do not rock the boat!"
