THE BARD ON BULLIES IN THE LEGISLATURE

HILLBULLYS 
Pre-school
kids could replace the Assembly on the Hill:
A
childlike raucous racket, big hum in air to fill.
Loud
bickering and bullying that does little to instill
Confidence
in  leaders who know no leading skill.
Introducing
rules-of-conduct to regulate ill will, 
To change a human’s nature from decency
near nil.
Is
distraction from the urgency to lower living bills,
And
all the while attention strays from frills at the till.

Will we prove to be smart and nimble enough to do the same with the Upper Churchill?
