Boycott

No one likes to see a vacant space
Envision various ways to encroach
Between claims of Bench and Bar
It's a tough subject even to broach

Old tomes moved to new building
And created a new vacant space
Bar dreamt of cafeteria and lounge
Milords too soon joined the race

While Bar associations lay claim
And their leaders continued to strive
Big Chief got all set to inaugurate
'National Judicial Museum & Archive'

Black coats seldom oppose milords
I for one would never have thought
At the fag end of his bumpy career
Big Chief will face a big boycott!

All grew tired of the inaugurations
Of promises given, speeches made
Heartening to see that at least now
Some are calling a spade a spade!
