Ground breaking

Before any Chief retires,
While he is still around,
He must lay foundations
And break new ground

The Bombay High Court
Has stood strong and tall
But increase in everything
Makes it seem a bit small

All that's going to change
Once every hurdle clears
A stone laid in BKC today
Will fructify in twenty years

Due to efforts of Big Chief
Powers were approached
So what if chosen location
Is substantially encroached?

It's the thought that counts
Consider the ultimate goal
So what if today the VIPs
Dig just another pot-hole?

Milords are most upright
They never sway or bend
Like those solid rocks
Seen from Taj Land's End

Event coverage will be live
The after-party will be good
We hope milords purpose
By posterity is understood…
