New pirates, yes, they rob I
Say I of the Google scripts
Scraping music like a spy
Took Rap Genius lyrics
But my brief was made strong
By the T-O-S declaration
We contract with this generation
Triumphantly

Forever indebted to Judge Young, bard of #ERISA, for his #preemption dirge in Andrews-Clarke, 984 F. Supp. 49 (D. Mass. 1997). It's a masterful lamentation on entwined tragedies: Mr. Clarke's death and ERISA preemption's endurance.

An #ERISA plan covered Mr. Clarke,
with pre-utilization review.
"As a consequence of their failure to pre-approve" his admission to inpatient rehab
"Clarke never received the treatment
he so desperately required,
suffered horribly, and
ultimately died needlessly at age 41."

His widow & 4 children sought redress.
The Plan removed to Judge Young's Court and
"just as promptly,
asked this Court to throw her out
without hearing the merits of her claim.
This, of course, is ridiculous.
The tragic events set forth in [her] Complaint
cry out for relief."
