Open Means Open Means

(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!"
