Get out of my f***ing way demands the one time bouncer, Justin Trudeau
as he stomps across the House of Commons floor
elbows a lady opposition member in the chest (accidentally)
to manhandle the Conservative whip into position for an all important vote
on doctor assisted (political?) suicide

Harkens us Canadians old enough to remember back to the days of ‘fuddle duddle’
when another Prime Minister Trudeau, Justin’s old man in fact
lost his temper and reverted to potty mouth to get his feelings across
in that very same lower(ed) chamber

With the cameras rolling (do they ever stop?)
his tie still straight and hair unruffled
the younger Trudeau soon quickly goes into damage control
apologizing to all concerned for his behavior

Who needs the NHL? asks this politician without a podium from the safety of his living room
watching the replay over and over again
putting forward a motion that members of Parliament
start wearing hockey equipment (sticks recommended though not mandatory)

Sigh...does this mean the honeymoon’s over, Justin?
I think not, more sunny ways and days ahead for sure
especially once that marijuana bill attains royal ascent
then it’s joints all round for all party members, bruised chests and egos alike

Author's Note: For those unfamiliar with Canadian politics, Sunny Ways is a slogan Liberal leader Justin Trudeau used in a victory speech upon being elected Prime Minister, signalling a major change in the country’s political direction, as compared to the previous Conservative government and PM Stephen Harper, who no doubt is shaking his head in disbelief.
