There's nothing as temptingAs a Milord about to retireBecause the Powers controlWhat many secretly aspire..As retirement creeps closerJudgments may become oddAnd if it serves their interestJustice is ridden roughshod..At the apex of many a careerThere is nothing left to loseSo why not show some loyaltyAnd prove to be of good use?.Everyone loves loyal animalsHelps them unwind and unclogFor guarding a master's interestNothing to beat a friendly dog..Trained canines know their jobsThey can bark with all their mightAnd if their masters give a signalThey are ready to attack and bite..Good masters do care for petsIt's like giving dues to the devilEven ferocious dogs who retireAre given a comfortable kennel..Those whom we expected to beOur "Sentinels on the qui vive"At the slightest hint of a sinecureAre ready to enthusiastically dive..(Raju Z. Moray is a Mumbai-based lawyer who enjoys writing poems. He is the author of two books 'Court Jester'(2017) and 'The Locked Down Lawyer'(2020))
