Adjudications

Esteemed personages and jurists
let the oral arguments begin.

Sir, the legality of your position on this
most serious of matters
limps like a drunken duck.

Madam your logic has diminished,
it trips over its own dung,
it bleats like a flea bitten nanny-goat.

Sire, your robes make you look fat.
Madam, your mother resembles
a demented Pitbull.
Sir, your ass requires two chairs.

This case is flawed.
This flaw is the case!
The floor is wet madam, are you incontinent?
Your flapping mouth is toothless Sir.
Gum me !
Go dry your nuts in a microwave donkey breath.

“My respected colleagues,
decorum please,”
pleads another pillar of the law.

Together – ‘Shut-up fish face!'

Long thoughtful pause,
while giant legal minds deliberate.

A deep disembodied voice intones::
"The Supremes have adjourned for lunch."
