You've often heard the saying boys will behave like boys <br />And some boys never grow up or never do grow wise <br />And some even Elected to the highest office in the Land <br />And why give a boy a man's job I will never understand? <br /> <br />Some are still boys in their fifties and though invested with great power <br />They try to re-shape history and dream of a yet more glorious hour, <br />They only make their wealthy mates more financially secure <br />And cause wars and great sufferings and make the poor more poor. <br /> <br />In the house of Parliament they behave like unruly girls and boys <br />They shout across the chamber at each other and make a lot of worthless noise <br />These Elected Legislators by their behaviour do seem small <br />And for us who gave them the power it does not say much at all. <br /> <br />On the day of the election we ought to be more circumspect <br />For there must be better people than them to elect <br />For electing school yard bullies there's a price we have to pay <br />For the silly choices we make when we vote on voting day.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/boys-will-behave-like-boys/
