Aging Perks
Virginia Salter

In my local bank
there is a free account
for people over fifty
to stay a bill’s surmount

It has a special name
to make one feel so fine
The name puts those of us
in a lovely frame of mind

Instead of dubbing seniors
as those over the hill
it gives us a finer handle
a lovelier, nicer bill

For rather than being old,
decrepit, elderly
we are given “Prime Time”
by which to get no fee.

Yes, I’m in my Prime Time dears
no need to rave or boast
I’m in my Prime Time dears
now raise with me a toast!
