My Senior Cone

Certain stores have discounts Saving this or that percent If you're old or are perceived that way - I think that's their intent. In supermarkets in my 'hood On Tuesdays, says the sign, Seniors save a whopping 10% - Just mention it in line. They never ask for proof; I guess They take you at your word, Assuming claiming to be older Would be quite absurd. Yet still I was surprised today (I read the notice twice) To purchase at the ice cream shop A cone at senior price. A Wednesday special, but in truth, Am I in this alone, To question why a senior Needs a discount on a cone?
