Court

There is something strange
There is something peculiar
About this five letter word
This word can make one quiver

Five letters that makes you shiver
It's one word that sends chills down your spine
It terrifies, it petrifies, it creates fear

Court why is it never fair
It makes you not want to appear
Lies, truth all piled into one

Court is an Irish stew
Waiting to be serve
Waiting to be heard

Court is definitely a pot of Calalou 
Crabs, herbs a messy delicacy
Designed to fulfill

Witness,jury, you and the judge
Waiting to be heard
Waiting to be served

A decision to be made
Your life on the line
Hanging be a thread

A solution that may alternate
The rest of your life
One man , one decision
Court what a place not to be.
