A very well-written birthday poem for a friend turning sixty, I will be an official senior citizen next year, in the meantime I just enjoy my under sixty status for another while.

Hi Dolly Thank you and 60 is the new 40 so I'm going for it perhaps 70 will be the new 30 ha Ha Cheers Christine
Comment from Gloria ....
Yay! How can anyone complain about all the discounts that come with being a senior. Now if "they" can just stop with the head pats and baby talk they'd get a lot fewer scratches. lol.
Super poem, Christine and I imagine your friend Heather was thrilled.

Hi Gloria, thank again and yes my friend enjoyed this on I wrote one for her 50th also time flies. I refuse to eat Senior meals at the pub. LOL I think " they" think that once one turns 60 you must have lost ypur appetite Ha Ha next they will only serve vitamised diets Ha Ha Cheers Christine
Comment from Bucketlist
A unique way to say happy birthday. I'm sure Heather will appreciate it. You have a stream of new penning, you must forgive me for being so slow.. I was amused by your poem, can't wait to see how you will feel about 70!
Hugs, Trisha

Hi Christine. I love this. It's so cute, wonderfully rhymed and has a super message. You've listed all the perks for seniors that I can think of and maybe more. Great tribute to your friend Heather. Marilyn

Comment from Susan B. Lamphier
Christine--Once again, you dazzle me with your poetry. It is an absolutely perfect description of becoming a senior (I should know, I'm 62!). This poem was full of humor and a wink, all in perfect rhyme. Well done!

Comment from lyenochka
Such a fun poem that will make it more tolerable to hit 60 for your friend. Thanks for sharing. I'm 60 but not all those discounts are available to us here. It varies by store etc. I have to wait years for transportation discounts!

Hi lyenochka. Thank you for your review and yes Heather did enjoy this one and sometimes ai say how did I suddenly get to 65 But rarely cash in on the Seniors perks I forget to use my Seniors card aand do not have 'Seniors meal' at the pub either LOL Cheers Christine
Comment from Henry King
An excellent rhyming poetic happy birthday gift for a friend. Wait a few more years and you won't have to be carded for the discount. But the day comes, as it has for me. When you say, "senior", that title includes your children. It's been a while in coming. It's another thing to share. Yes, your words made think and remember. It's something you do often and again, A poetic job, well done.

Hi Henry Thank you for reading and at 65 I really don't see myself as a Senior LOL but sometimes feel like one especially on a cold morning Ha Ha. I love the sun. My kids keep telling me they are picking out my nursing home but I tell them I am having lots of SKI holidays ( Spend the Kids Inheritance) that shuts them up ha Ha Cheers Christine

Next...the pension, well done blessings, Roy
Suggestion "your glasses, keys (you'll) put somewhere"
