Decorum

Judges need no good reason
To start venting their ire
Recently what set off a milord
Was a civil servant's attire!

The guy had come to court
In an ostensibly decent dress
But milord just lost his cool
Was it domestic distress?

Observers could not fathom
What was milord's dilemma
When he asked the IAS officer
"Do you think this is a cinema?"

Milord wanted to know what
Officers are taught in school
By such queries milord was
Beginning to look like a fool

Strangely no one intervened
When milord was in this mode
And judicial time was wasted
Discussing some dress code

The interaction soon was viral
Thanks to being live telecast
Bureaucrats being lambasted
Is news that travels very fast

Far from being impressed
By displayed "majesty of law"
Viewers were bemused by
The spectacle which they saw

It is not enough for collegiums
To choose judges for a forum
If there is no training available
To teach milords some decorum
