The lady’s hair is
Propped up
By much hairspray
Sometimes she highlights
It but it remains generally
Unchanged season after season
During her court TV program
Her robe is splayed
Over her legally
Riddled body
She is hard nosed,
No nonsense as she
Adjudicates on issues of
Great importance falling under
The category of small claims
Each side claims it is
Right and some cases
Are truly ridiculous
The judge has little
Time for excuses such
As not being able to feed one’s
kids or driving without a license
or insurance out of necessity
The judge is full of
Chastisements designed to
Make one look like a
Fool which makes for
Good TV
I got to admit, I sometimes
Enjoy watching the judge drill
Some poor guy who is totally
Outgunned
Millions of others
Enjoy it too
During a recent
Taping of her show
The TV cameras jerked
Up and down
The people in the courtroom
Looked about in a panic,
The lights on the wall
Swung like a pendulum out
Of control
An earthquake of some
Magnitude had disrupted this
Inner sanctum of televised justice
The camera panned
To the judge who looked
Up as if the roof was about
To cave in to the tremors
She scurried to the
Door like a
Rat
The real judge
Had arrived
