Anjali was a lawyer. A pretty one at that. Somebody persuaded her to pose for a girlie magazine and all hell broke lose. The Delhi Bar Association (DBA) was up in arms demanding she be debarred from practice. The logic eluded me till I dug deeper...
For some odd reason she wanted to defy
Social norms and customs, don’t ask me why
And she wasn’t too demure, she wasn’t too shy
So she took off her clothes for the voyeurs eye.
She’s smart and capable, she’s done her law
God only knows why she wanted to draw
Attention, ensuring everybody saw
A lawyer posing for a picture in the raw.
Well, I guess you can say, “Each to his own
It was her own body she wanted shown
Why should it have become a contentious bone
And the issue out of all proportion blown?
The DBA has a certain point of view
What if the magazines particular issue
Has been seen by the Hon’ble judges too?
Do I have to spell out the ramifications to you?
Each time that she would present a case
Would the judges (in their minds) see only her face?
Come on, judges are judges, but can they place
Hard facts before an argument of lingerie and lace?
And then under which article or sub section
Will the opposing attorney raise an objection
When the critical point of interjection
Is the Hon’ble Judges obvious erection?
Let me see, am I correct if I guage
That this outburst of indignation and rage
Is because of the indiscriminate usage
Of the powerful tool of body language!
Body language, then is the culprit
As a tool of argument, should be banned by writ.
Lawyers should now wear a strait jacket
And when this is done…Anjali will quit.
