In torts class, we've been talking about negligence. Hence, a song.

(to the tune of "Happiness" from "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown")

"Negligence"

Negligence
Is driving too quickly
Playing with firearms
Getting pets drunk

Negligence
Is inciting pitbulls
Locking small children into your trunk

Negligence is keeping your gun closet door unlocked
And loaded, labeled "guns," and fully stocked

Negligence
Is pizza with razors
French fries with hemlock
Keeping milk warm

Negligence
Is an icy sidewalk
Cutting a ship loose during a storm

Negligence is tripping the elderly 'cause you can
Not acting like a reasonable man

Negligence
Is an open fire,
A pet piranha too
Oh negligence is anything a prudent careful man
Would not do

Negligence
Is a leaky faucet
Exposed asbestos
Spreading your lice

Negligence is eight-year-old kids flying private planes
and throwing broken glass from moving trains

Negligence
Is "oops, I didn't mean that,
I should've checked that thing
For negligence, when people are, the victims of your acts
The suits they'll bring.
