The Birthday's Mixed Blessing

The discounts are now quite a few
And cause for a feeling that's blue
It's true--what a drag
As the parts start to sag
A bonus for age sixty-two

One place I know gives them at 55, so I got my first one over there but never have even used it yet. Because nowadays we don't have the money to even eat out. And sad part is, we are not even on SS yet. UGGGG
