Yeoman's Service

After forty years of faithful service,

More than fourteen thousand days,

They finally bought the golden watch,

Pitched the party, lauded praise.

Early on he was fanatic,

Meant to set the world ablaze.

Set them on their heals aplenty;

Sudden deftness to amaze.

Now the world is spinning faster,

Seems to leave him in a daze.

Just can't seem to get his rhythm

Or comprehend the latest craze.

Time to find a simpler meaning;

Time to start a brand new phase;

Time to cash your yeoman's service

And take the mouse out of the maze.
