CPC, Chow Chow and Wow!

The Civil Procedure Code talks about What Justice should look like, What the pleading should plead, How the pleader should open his mouth.

There is a procedure On what pen to use, On the sharpness of the nib, The colour of the ink, And what boxes to tick.

Square boxes, twelve in number… Goes the description. And when a dozen ticks are done By the client and his lawyer Justice takes a 360 degree turn And moves in a circle.

In a circle it moves And as a fifth grader will tell you Lines never end Never ending lines, a circle it constitues.

Yeh Hai Youngistan Merji Jaan. Wow? How? Chow Chow? Is a Chinese breed of dog With a tongue blue black, A tongue which no purpose serves. A tongue which describes the dog And in description kills the cur.

How can tongues ever work? Hands work and minds work. Tongues are aplenty in the code, and hoards Of teeth also; sucking blood from good, And life from justice, a justice they do besmirch. Tongues are aplenty in the code It is the hands which shirk and the minds which shirk.
