Why Call Them The Honorable Poem by Francis Duggan

Referred to by some as the honorable but still just the same
Not many honorable amongst them that one might name
In parliamentary sitting every day
Towards each other they behave in the most disrespectful way
Shouting at each other and name calling as they disagree
Their behavior seems ordinary even to one like me
By the rude things in parliament to each other they do say
They abuse their parliamentary privileges in quite a bad way
Verbally for political advantage in parliament they behave aggressively
Instead of the honorable they should be called the ordinary
Their conduct in parliament far from exemplary it does seem sad to say
Children for such behavior are suspended from school every day
Why some call them the ordinary one must wonder why
When such a word to them should never apply.
