In a move that has left grammarians celebrating and lawyers fumbling for rhyming dictionaries, the Senate unanimously passed the "Rhyming Reform Act" yesterday, mandating that all future laws must be written in rhyme.

"We believe that governance should not only be fair but also flair," said Senator Melody Verse, sponsor of the bill. "No longer will legalese be dry and drear, but full of rhythm, rhyme, and cheer." The bill stipulates that each section, clause, and amendment must adhere to a consistent rhyming scheme, with an optional meter if feeling adventurous.

Critics worry about the practicality of this poetic approach. "How will judges interpret laws written in couplets?" pondered former Supreme Court Justice Homer Meter. "Will fines be due 'by the light of the moon' or 'before the man in the moon leaves his tune'? It’s a legal limerick nightmare!" Meanwhile, lobbyists are reportedly hiring poets and bards to help craft their proposed legislation, turning Capitol Hill into an impromptu open-mic night.

In response to concerns, Senator Verse reassured the public, "If confusion arises, just sing the law twice. Soon, the rules will stick like catchy tunes!" When asked if the bill might lead to less serious governance, she quipped, "If your law doesn’t rhyme, it’s probably a crime!"

As the nation braces for a future where tax codes and traffic laws could soon be delivered with a beat, one thing is certain: politics just got a whole lot more lyrical.
