Lovers in court

Lovers in court

'Your honour, the defendant pleads not guilty,
to intransigence, infidelity and mystery,
my client has no recollection of such matters,
in fact, only that his life ended in tatters.'

'Gentlemen, please approach the bench, this court is busy,
and should not be subjected to such menial trivia,
please resume without details of the defendant's love life,
when I get home, I'm going to divorce my wife.'

'Your honour, we hope that you don't do such a thing,
the plaintiff is willing to withdraw the charges,
if there is a reduction of unnecessary 'argie-bargies,'
the resumption of serenity, caution and self-distancey.'

'Members of the jury, for God's sake, have you reached a verdict?'
'Not guilty your honour, although we recommend using a mask.'
