An Atlanta attorney could face disciplinary action for sending a poem to a Nassau County special referee complaining about his client’s lengthy divorce litigation.

Days after mediation efforts broke down in a nine-year-divorce action, A. Todd Merolla of Merolla & Gold, who represents Drew Doscher, wrote a 60-line poem in a Dec. 23 e-mail that began, “Twas the week before Christmas, in the Matrimonial Part,/ All the creatures were stirring, putting their horse in front of the cart./The fee applications were pending, bills demanding to be paid,/In hopes that Drew’s resolve, soon would fade.”
