They Behave Like Rude Schoolboys

They remind me of naughty children in their immature way In the Chambers of Parliament every day They behave like rude schoolboys at each other they shout The worth of our democratically elected parliamentarians one has to doubt Not honourable in nature only in name Their heckling each other is far more about power and fame Than any love of their Country or the people they represent The shortage of mature and decent politicians is a cause to lament The members of the ruling party and the opposition of each other have never kind things to say Like school yard bully boys mind games they do play How many of them come to be elected to Parliament I will never know Respect you don't get if respect you don't show For power and fame they squabble like rude children do over their toys And it can be said of them that boys will be boys.
