*781WILLIAM W. FRANCIS, JR., J.,
concurring.
I concur. I write separately simply to underscore the principal opinion’s observations regarding Appellant’s petition. The petition is the antithesis of what is required by Rules 55.04 and 55.05.1 The petition is not simple, concise, and direct per the requirements of Rule 55.04, and is not a short and plain statement of facts per the requirements of Rule 55.05. The petition contains long rambling expositions on the law mixed in with legal citations. It is understandable how the trial court and opposing counsel would be frustrated in attempting to sort appropriate pleading from the extraneous material.
