The dallying continues for long
The decision gets postponed endlessly.
Rather it being not a decision in the wrong
it being a resolution emanating from the court originally
briefly referred to as court order in short.
The plaintiffs filing the case
with the defendant fighting it out
while they do not see face to face
except in the portals of the court
the order pronounced is still hanging.
Not knowing what to do further
the plaintiffs blink at each other
while the defendant keeps his fingers crossed
the lawyers add up to their coffers once again in gross
the expense mounting piling up one above the other.
The court stands dumb and mute
The Judge relaxes in his chamber
while the lawyers act cute
the vying parties go on with a murmur
as usual the defendant is in the lurch.
Having experienced this postponement for long
I sit amused and keep winking
laughing at the plaintiffs ignorance
and their motto of filing the case
pitying the defendant greatly.
