   Fairytale of York County Court

   ‘Twas Easter Eve, babe
   In the depths of lockdown,
   Senior partner said to me
   “Just get the bundle done.”
   I knew not what to do
   IT guys had COVID too;
   I turned to Gordon’s blog
   And found all I needed to.

   Downloaded Adobe
   And counted down from three;
   I had a feeling
   That this was meant to be.
   Using my imagination
   I cracked the pagination;
   All tabbed and hyperlinked
   I smiled and saved my bundle.

   But the words of PD 51Z
   Were staring back at me.
   My work was all for nowt:
   We were adjourned til Christmas.

   To the tune of “It Came Upon A Midnight Clear”

   It came across on wing and wave,
   A virus none could see,
   And yet it’s shadow dimmed the light,
   Throughout 2020.
   Adjourned, suspended, placed on hold,
   Your case could not be brought.
   To save the old, the weak, the sick,
   Silence did reign at court.

   But now the vaccine hastens on,
   Sage scientists foretold.
   Can our case resume, can we all assume,
   Hostilities of old?
   Will relief from lockdown be granted?
   Will our masks we set aside?
   Submit your prayers to the judge on high,
   This hopeful Christmastide.

   (To be Sung to “ As With Gladness Men of Old”)

   Lefty – lawyer, Do-Gooder,
   Christ ! We’re led by Suella,
   The Lord Chancellor is RJB
   Don’t start me off on CVP,
   Sitting in your undies, eating toast,
   Waiting for the Conference Host.

   Nightingale Courts with no-one in,
   Backlogs ! Governmental spin,
   Aims to extend the Hearing day
   Breaking law in a “Limited Way”,
   Listing trials next century,
   The Justice system in Twenty Twenty,

   (To John Lennon’s And so this is Christmas)

   So this is Christmas
   And what have you done?
   Another year over
   And we’ve been in lockdown.

   The Courts have been troubled
   With Skype and with Teams,
   Patience has been tested
   Beyond all means.

   A very merry Christmas,
   I hope you have cheer,
   Let’s hope improper conduct
   And covid disappear.

   (to Hark the Herald Angels sing)

   Get to grips with Adobe pro
   T’isn’t tricky – I should know!
   E-filing and pagination
   Sent to test our knowledge so.

   Hail the Court acknowledgement
   Thank the Lord it’s finally sent
   Took all week to this create,
   Hope the Judge can navigate.

   Three screens at least – what techno whiz
   Please let’s get back to face to face.
