I. POST-MOLDING OF JUDICAL PRANKS

The 25 charges that never were

EO thievery charges have been stolen

By the AG’s Office

Stolen from AG’s office being molded

25 BIGGEST charges all gone

While molding the AG’s Office

For a theater of judicial pranks

Oh! Ghanaians

The AG is finally lost, losing it

Has gone legally berserk in her own office

Thieves with 25 Charges are free

Free to roam in our minds

Even as we laugh at the prank

Laugh as the molding of AG goes on

Let us look for the thieves

They are in the AG’s mindset of office

Haunted by the witch-hunters of EO

II. MOLDING JUDICIAL PRANKS

Betting on a mold is molding justice

Molding justice, mocking justice

Marauding justice, murdering justice

Witch-hunt

That is hunting the hunters

Worse than Kangaroo’s biography

Architect of kangaroo courts

The “Wizard” Tsatzuu-Azizau

Made an oil kingpin by King Ridge

Knew Nsawam is for kangarooed criminals

That Korle Bu is for the sick

And so the wizard became sick

And happily lived in Korle Bu

His heart disease

Became heartfelt happiness

When a handsome pardon came his way

And the Kangaroo Man goes to work

To please the King Ridge

With his chief linguist Milling in line

And our infesting legal Molding in tow

Marauding justice in Ghana

Molding judicial pranks

For political vindictiveness

III. MOLDING 25 MAJOR CHARGES

Forget about the Mold’s lesser charges

And count 25 major charges on your fingers

You must have more than ten fingers

And ability to laugh at judicial pranks
