Ep:12:The Calm Flight
Ep:11:The Missing Senior
It was a quiet afternoon in the courtroom. The fan was buzzing, and people looked bored.
Then the Judge came back from lunch. He sat down, looked serious, and said, "Next case."Everyone sat up. Something was about to happen.The young junior lawyer stood up. He looked nervous—like he just saw a ghost in his file.No one knew it yet, what was going to happen.
That young junior lawyer stood up.He looked nervous.Very nervous.This was the second time he was asking for more time from the Judge today.In the morning, at 11 o'clock, he had said,"My Lord, my Senior is stuck in traffic. Can we take the case at 2 PM?"The Judge smiled and said,"Okay. Come back at 2 PM."
Now it was 2 PM.Everyone was waiting.But the Senior Lawyer was still not there.The Judge asked,"Where is your Senior now?"
The junior lawyer said,"My Lord… now he is stuck in another court."
The Judge looked surprised."First traffic, now another court?"
The junior nodded fast."Yes, My Lord. He got stuck again."
The Judge said,"This is not a train station. I can’t keep waiting all day."
People in the courtroom giggled.Then the Judge asked,"So when will your Senior come?"
The junior smiled nervously."Tomorrow, My Lord. At 2 PM."
The Judge stared at him."Will he appear like magic—poof!—from the air?"
The junior laughed and said,"If he doesn’t, My Lord… I will become invisible!"
Everyone laughed!Even the Judge smiled and said,"Okay! But if you vanish, we’ll send a search team!"
The whole courtroom laughed.Even the peon near the door was smiling.
Moral of the Story:
11 AM Vs 2 PM
The Judge looked down with a patient frown,
"You're here again... but where's your gown?"
"Oh, I’m here, My Lord," the junior said,
"But my Senior’s missing—I’m filled with dread."
“At 11 AM, you sought some time,
that traffic stopped him, like nursery rhyme.”
"Yes, My Lord," the junior replied,
“The jam was thick—he almost cried!”
The Judge leaned back, calm but stern,
“I gave you time… now it’s your turn.”
The junior coughed and looked around,
Hoping his Senior might be found.
"My Lord,” he said, “it’s not the street—
This time, he's in a courtroom seat."
“He's trapped again,” said the young man,
“In another case, with a different plan.”
The Judge sighed deep, rubbed his face,
As silence swept across the place.
"You want more time? How many tries?
Should I wait here till pigs can fly?"
The junior, red with shame and sorrow,
Said softly, “Just… until tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow, My Lord! Please don’t be grim,
At 2 PM, we shall surely begin!”
“Tomorrow at 2?” the Judge gave a glare.
“Will he appear—poof!—out of thin air?”
The courtroom laughed, the moment was tight,
The Judge just sighed, “Fine. One more night.”
Moral of the Poem:
If your Senior’s missing once or twice,
Make sure the third excuse sounds extra nice.
