(I laugh hoarsely and murmur
to myself)
"His wig doesn't stink, it
just releases an unwholesome
stench. Foolish defendant,
serves you right for your poor
defence. Hahaha!"
(Judge stares at me, I clear my throat)
De-graft;"MMM!"
Lawyer;"Shall we also call, De-graft's
X's brother to the platform, your lordship."
Judge;"Permission granted."
(Stupid lawyer sits down my
oblivious lawyer (defendant) rises
to ask that brute questions)
Defendant;" May I ask,
why did you threaten De-graft?"
X's brother; " They had been
in a relationship for too long
and she was also disturbing
my sleep with phone calls."
Defendant;" How regular
were the phone calls?"
X's brother; "Nonsensically
regular, but it was she
who called him, because
he didn't have a phone
at the time."
De-graft; "I promised to
call her after I had a phone
the following year and you
didn't allow me to fulfill
the..."
Judge;" Shut up! Your would-have-been
in-law is talking."
(court laughs)
X's brother;" You were taking
advantage of her.
De-graft; " ME? I would
never do anything like that
to hurt your sister."
X's brother;" Big liar, have you
forgotten I was your senior in
high school?"
De-graft;"Yes and you were
the most magnificent womanizer
that ever lived!"
(court laughs vehemently)
Judge;"ORDER! ORDER!
De-graft, you getting irksome!"
De-graft;"Your lordship,
I very well, know that,
if you were in my position,
you would keep quiet
and allow me to fight
for her love!"
