    Fieldsy and Bill: A DR Fairly Trail


    Three score and seven months ago the Odyssey began

    Intrepid Fieldsy taking charge, with vision and elan,

    To turn established text into a third, more sage, edition

    ADR, law, identity, much theory in addition.

    Too onerous proved this arduous task for authors, young and free,

    They forged a brand new first edition - with cover girt by sea.

    The text prolapses ADR, and DR comes to fore

    One letter less, efficiency, the modern troubadour

    DR is law’s true business, and the future task of lawyers

    Though other disciplines bring great skills as DR purveyors.

    Rachael creates matrices with fierce analysis

    And practice has its rightful place - or better still praxis,

    She critiques Priestly’s saintly core with missionary fervour

    Though herself is, reverently, a god-fearing verger

    In every field young Fieldsy brings a rigour to the joust

    Her style so mellifluous recalls the prose of Proust

    Judges too recalcitrant and theorists far too thin

    She trumps them one by one with acerbic verve, and gin,

    Bill looks on half-dazed as her libretto forms apace

    Just minor emendations to claim his cover place

    Disputes twixt Bill and Fieldsy? There were a somewhat few

    The comma matter not resolved, it caused a constant blue.

    For Rachael, every, word, must, have, its, punctuation, own,

    ForBillajumbledflowofwordsnosyncopationzone

    Now here’s a tale not told before, though every word is true,

    Bill inveigled Fieldsy long to move to Bond’s green hue

    Abandon Brisbane’s creek and drudge and start again anew

    Resistance was her sad response, excuses thickly grew.

    The strangest part: once Bill departs for Sydney waters twee

    Then Rachael moves to level two with stark alacrity

    In truth she’s now resolved to move to Sydney Harbour Bridge

    Once Bill has used his GPS to reclaim Bogun ridge.

    Nonetheless, to revert to quest, the virtual was at hand

    To ease Homeric ventures with a constant flow of brand

    One note of serious concern amidst the frippery

    Concerning current happenings with lack of policy

    How serious is the plight of those who flee from ravaged lands

    Out-trumped by bigotry and fear, excuses weak and bland,

    Asylum-seekers, refugees, minorities galore,

    The flames are fanned by news corp hacks, the jocks and many more

    Where is DR’s noble soul in contexts such as these?

    That is a challenge we must face, so join a movement please.

    To take on privilege and power, denial atmospheric,

    Post-truth, untruth, and spin and sin, every sad heuristic.

    But to end on sombre tones might seem a trifle crook

    For cheerful lives and value add - you just should by the book.

    Thanks are due to Lexis Nex, to Nick, friends, Faculty

    And to abandoned progeny, my beloved DRC

    Which fulsome praise it does receive about page 113

    Thanks to Bond, once pioneer and leader in the race

    Though ACU with holy crew is picking up the pace.

    I now must end abruptly too these rhymes sore terrible

    Lest there be those who shout aloud ‘Enough, far too much bull.’
