Supreme Court postcard writer and anonymous legal Twitter celebrity Court Witness returns, this time, full of hate (hate, hate. Hate).
I hate courtroom eight*
It’s small,
It’s cramped,
It has seats too few.
I hate courtroom eight
I’m always being shoved out of the way
My toes crushed to paste
I get an elbow in the face
every day.
I hate courtroom eight
Someone sneezes on me
Here I get poked in the ribs
All for the crime of standing still.
I hate, hate courtroom eight
If it isn’t body odour
It’s the smell of stale sweat
and it’s all in my way.
I hate, hate, hate courtroom eight
A mob gathers outside
A big case is on inside
I’ll never get to mine in time.
I hate, hate, hate, hate courtroom eight
I can never get in
I can never get out
Even when I hear the matter called out.
I hate, hate, hate, hate courtroom eight
I can’t hear what the judge’s said
The court master couldn’t care less
I beg, almost cry, but all in vain.
I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate courtroom eight
Miscellaneous day’s done
The crowds have had their fun
I walk an empty corridor
I see an open door
I step in to check
It’s the courtroom I left
So empty, peaceful and pure.
I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate courtroom eight!
*This is a tirade against the overcrowded courtrooms in the SC, specifically the smaller ones at the back. I don’t have anything particular against courtroom 8 but just it’s better for a rhyme.
Court Witness is an advocate of the Supreme Court of India and tweets @courtwitness1.

Just replace "hate" with "love" and recite the poem again !
I love love love those body odours... sounds fun.
Oh this is India, so it can't get any better ? Just chillax and accept ? Accept any bad Orders too (now that you can accept bad odours) ? You will get paid anyway and will survive better ? ???
