Pablo brings the case against his wife, Diana. They allow their two-year-old daughter Mati to help out in the kitchen by mixing, pouring and preparing food — but they can’t agree on how much responsibility is TOO much.

DOCKET EVIDENCE
Text of the poems Chris composed for his coffeehouse performance
The Right to Remain Silent
Silence is reclusive
Silence is challenging
Silence is contemplative
Silence is calming
Silence is thoughtful
Silence is reflective
Silence is clever
Silence is hilarious
Silence is beautiful
Silence is intellectual
Silence is who I love
The Judgment Not Wanted
Two litigants sitting on a bench of wood
A favorable judgment not to be had by both
Nervous to be sworn is as we stood
Make my case as best I could
Steering clear of legal undergrowth
Would the judgment be fair?
I surely thought I had the better claim

The prosecution a mighty case before the judge lay
The case against me laid out in white & black
Oh I was not to win the case this day
Knowing a judgment against me was on the way
I doubted if I should ever come back
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two litigants sitting on a bench of wood, and I –

Judge John Hodgman who hoped to make a difference
