Behold old is gold:
When being young is all the rage
Nation has reached historic stage
By electing eminent sage
Leader ninety two years of age
Age is sometimes a positive
Youth is not always elixir
With wisdom accumulative
For Prime Minister Mahathir

A good tribute
and a well merited indeed.
Wisdom he has and all!

Rula, thanks for your remarks
and thanks also goes to eminent statesmen like Mr. Mahathir who has been and continues to be an inspiration for countless persons. We desperately need mature leaders of wisdom when we have terrible temperamental thugs pushing to pulverize the planet with their belligerent and bellicose blather and mindless mayhem and murder.
