the old work horses


The old work horses
They have seen the best
They have seen the worst
They have seen the compromise
They have the knowledge
They have the experience
Yet the young turks call
Let them retire to the sunsets

The old work horses
They still have their uses
Ask the grandparents
They will say what they do
The doting drivers
Morning, afternoon or tuition
They will send their grandchildren
Though they have a choice
Enjoy their last game of life
But they prefer to work
Helping their grandchildren
They make them alive

In politics old is golden
The gem of the hard nosed politicians
They have much to contribute
In the political game of power play
People like Dr M and LKS
The old work horses they still play the game
It makes them strong and pitching their skills
In the political arena the seasoned politicians
They will strike hard too
