My Honourable Lord, Sir
There is an urgent emergency
That discomforts my diaphragm.
I ate eba and egusi soup yesterday,
Constipation is taking a toll and a stroll
In the vicinity of my stomach and my stomata.
I have spoken to my brother Silk on the other side,
We want an adjournment—
A very short date, My Lord.
My Honourable Lord, Sir
The fragile walls of my uterus
Still feel the pangs of menstrual grips.
The herbal teas and the tablets
Could not consume the punches
Of these scary menstrual trenches.
I have spoken to my fellow Silk on the other side
We want an adjournment—
A very short date, My Lord.
My Noble Lord, Sir
The Learned Silk, my Principal,
Is before the Court of Appeal today.
The Learned Silk wishes to personally take:
Our Notice of Preliminary Objection
And our Motion for Interlocutory Injunction.
I have spoken to learned counsel to the Claimant
We want an adjournment—
A very short date, My Lord.
My Noble Lord, Sir
Mrs. A.A Abaniwonda,SAN,
Received a national clarion call this morning.
The salient points in the Final Written Addresses
And the issues raised suo motu by the Court
Are things Learned Silk wishes to personally address.
I have spoken to my learned brother on the other side
We want an adjournment—
A very short date, My Lord.
Adjournment upon adjournment,
Justice bleeds at the feet of lawyers’ self-endowment
Adjournment upon miniature reason,
Justice weeps for every learned esquire’s treason.
Adjournment coated in the toga of delay
Is the road to leading Justice astray.
–Bolaji Ramos, Esq.
