Applying for the Old Age Pension

An elderly gentleman went to the Centre Link Office
To see if he was eligible for the old age pension,
A young lady then asked to see his driver’s license
So that she could verify his age and intention.

Putting his hand in his pocket for his license,
He soon realized that he had left it at home,
Apologizing profusely, he said, I’ll go home and get it,
I’ll be as quick as I can, my mistake to atone.

She surprised him by saying open your shirt
And when he did, showed a chest of curly grey hair,
That’s good enough for me, she said with a smile,
I can see you are genuine, my judgment was fair.

Arriving home he told his wife what had transpired,
His description was quick to gain her attention,
Why the heck didn’t you drop down your pants
And then you would have got a disabled man’s pension.
