Why You Need Me Because

You need me because I have my own spanners, And I am always on the lookout for loose nuts, I also know where the best bolt holes are. You need me because I can be that spanner in the works, When vested interests take over the floor, And others head for the door. You need me because, I graduated from the University of life, When my parents were on the faculty, And took that responsibility seriously. You need me because I have lived long enough, To learn from my mistakes, I have few vested interests, Now that I am semi-retired. You need me because, I know how to cut through red tape, Have the time to stay on hold, Until it is my turn to speak up. You need me because, I know the consequences when loose nuts go unnoticed, When there is no one with a spanner in sight, And all work grinds to a halt.
