Senior-Friendly

The supermarket calls itself A “Senior-Friendly” store. I read the sign and now I wonder What it’s really for. Do other shops mistreat the old? Get nasty if they’re slow? And how, in this establishment, Does senior-friendship show? Perhaps employees push the carts Of those who look “of age,” Though senior status often’s not An easy thing to gauge. Or maybe certain items sit On all the lower shelves, So prunes and other “senior” foods The old can reach themselves. I might just stop inside to check This “Senior-Friendly” place, But if they’re extra-nice, I’ll wipe Their smiles right off their face!

You're hilarious! Poor old geezers being mistreated at those "non-senior-friendly" shops! I don't believe I've ever crossed path with a place that was "senior-friendly"... but, really, what an effortless poem. I enjoyed the heck out of it...
