very nice wardrobe and robes
Hehe, you're right. That did sort of come out like a poem :)
I like how the regimented nature of the lines reflects the seriousness of the subjects - lawyers and justices - in this poem. Maybe it is also a little Kafkaesque, which always tends to tick the boxes for me. Clever write!
Justices and Judges take their responsibility to heart and don't mess around. I suppose it has a Kafka-vibe, in that they stick to the script and never deviate from it.
Wow, I hadn't thought about it as judicial robes! I loved the poem!
If you haven't seen yet, this is today's prompt!
