Still Useful
The pole has been tall and erect for 80 years
Everyone says it can no longer be of use
It has to be too weak to fly a flag
Oh, but the pole is not too weak
An older flag came along, a bit heavier than the new ones
The old pole perked right up
He would show those newer poles a thing or two
He hoisted the old flag and took it to the top
The flag flew so high and so proudly
The newer poles stood in awe and were amazed
How can such an old pole do what he is doing?
They never imagined the possibility
But it goes to show that all things are not equal
Age has nothing to do with ability
All things can happen if we desire to do what people say we can't
Never underestimate old poles
They still can fly the flag
