PRE - NATAL AGREEMENT

To be highly recommended is

THE PRE - NATAL AGREEMENT

between this John Watkins

and that Jane Silkwood (for example)

in furtherance of a collaboration

of sperm and ovum to produce

intended progeny (the person)

 

and should such combination be

less than wholly satisfactory in its outcome

in terms of the desirability or productivity

in the fullness of time upon maturity

of that new person (intended progeny)

recompense should be paid in full

by a figure agreed by law

 

to be levied against that said result of copulation (person)

and paid in COMPENSATION for disappointment

by the assigned INSURANCE COMPANY

without recourse to the courts..

(Such agreement being only feasible

for those of not inconsiderable wealth

owing to the high cost of such insurance

based as it is on the whim and ideals of the instigators

of such policy)

Thanks Jeff; my dad worked in the law and I got a taste of the wordiness of documents, virtually impossible to interpret. Apparently even commas can change meanings. I thought i'd have a dabble,(tongue in cheek of course.)

Thanks Paul A nice compliment and it was really an experiment in irony !

Cheers David, i'm bang to pre - conjugal rights. !
I think there might be just a slender chance of getting this through the Lords.
