Incommodious Conundrum

Excuse me; I couldn't possibly say
Not in a vote anyway
Whether my Committee were correct to say
What indeed they had to say
Given all the facts
Indeed, it's best to excuse myself
From doing what I ought to do
And support the work they were set to do
In uncovering the truth 
The truth! So very inconvenient 
Incommodious
I'd rather be lenient
And side-step it if I can
Ah, an appointment I cannot break
To keep that Parliamentary date
And cast the vote I ought to make
As leader of this land
In truth I seem to be
Awkward, awkwardly rather weak-kneed
When it comes to standing strong
For that strange old thing
The truth –
Ah truth! So very inconvenient 
If only its wages were not mis-spent
I could avoid its gaze
Alas, alack it stares at me
And, flinching, I refuse to see
The fact that I need to be
Walking through the appropriate lobby
Supporting the work of a Select Committee 
Of whom my colleagues form the majority
Come this Monday soon
I quiver and squirm against the call
My conscience screams
But I turn to the wall
To hide instead of duty
Truth! So very inconvenient
