tolls spell inclined mind find pretending sigh hit guilty fine fault liar
The Case of the Mind vs The Ego
Intro:
The mind has been brought
Before the Court
Of Petty Thoughts,
Charged with the crime
Of wilful assumption.
(The Magistrate enters and sits)
The gavel raps.
The court is in session.
“How do you plead?”
“Guilty, your honour.”
The prosecution sighs…
“Your honour, I protest.
The accused is pretending,
Accepting fault
To avoid the roasting
I had in mind.
If I was you, your honour,
And obviously I am not,
And do not wish to be seen
As disrespectful,
I would be inclined
To find him in contempt.
How can he plead guilty?
I have such a fine case
To hit him with.
Granted, he is not a liar,
As I agree with his assessment
But the toll on my self-esteem!
On my desire to spell out
The prosecution case
In fine and well reasoned points…
This is just not fair and equitable.
If you accept his plea of guilty
I shall demand a retrial.
