Mar 2013
the political debate
has become rather base
female and male politicians
hurling plenty of mace around the place

the opposition leader's uncalled for tirades
tearing the Prime Minister down
and she in turn
taking a few swipes at his crown

gender politics is playing
in Parliament House these days
and little of it
makes for a respectful array

a cessation isn't on the horizon
in Canberra town
and the behavior of our politicians
is getting the constituency down

politicians of eras past
would be most discomforted
by
the present debating cast
