“Here they come, with birthday cheer,
Bringing gifts just once a year,
People you don’t even like;
You really wish they’d take a hike.
This should be a glad occasion;
But it seems more like a SWAT invasion.
Go away! Just take a break!
Oh well, at least there’s birthday cake.”
– Joanna Fuchs
“Happy birthday!
You may look a little older,
Sadly youth doesn’t come cheap,
So skip all those Botox parties,
And just get your beauty sleep.
Be glad you’re young at heart,
And still look as good as gold,
Too bad you’re not a millionaire,
And can’t put your looks on hold.”
– Kevin Nishmas
“You’ve done quite well since your start,
So as you grow older take heart,
Keep up the good work and don’t be a jerk,
Stay happy till you’re an old fart.”

“Today is your birthday, don’t pull your hair,
Look in the mirror, nature was fair,
Not a day over twenty,
I’m kidding, you’re plenty.
Don’t mean to burst your bubble,
But stop asking for trouble,
You know what I mean,
When you drink that caffeine.
What should I bring?
Just give me a ring.
Elephant or clown?
I knew you would frown.”

“Happy birthday!
You’re still a teenager at heart,
Eating in your bed is routine,
Early-bird dinners are not your style,
Midnight pizza is more your scene.
No one has a right to call you old,
You can still pass for middle aged,
All your parts hurt but still work,
With the right nip, tuck and dosage.
You have never looked so young,
Your head’s still hairier than your ears,
Your arms don’t jiggle like Jello,
And zits still reduce you to tears.”
– Kevin Nishmas

“It’s amazing you’re seventy
You look really young.
There’s lots to explore
And adventures not done.
Set the calendar today
To have plenty of fun.
A cruise you should take
And a race to be run!
The seventy adventure:
To fish in the sun.
A hike through the woods,
Your life’s just begun!
Slice the birthday cake
And touch off the cannon.
Show the whole world
That life’s not a lemon!
So Happy birthday to you
We know you’re a hellion!
Go tackle the world
You’re one in a million!”

But that is all it is

And that is what is big

But all that matters on this day is our love and heartfelt cheer
Happy Birthday!”

“Seventy Today!
Hip Hip Hooray! We say,
For 70 is just too grand,
Numbers twixt 10s are very bland.
Some may say you’re getting old,
But I’m just sure they were never told,
How grand is seventy! bright and bold!
So chuck your dentures in the air!
Never mind your missing hair,
Why not ditch your old knitwear?
Give your family a right old scare,
Show off your hip youthful flair!
For you are seventy today!
Go out, enjoy it, I do say!”
– Amanda Suzuki

You’ll be special to me until the end
Celebrate today and know this is true
My life has been blessed because of you
I wish you the best birthday ever
Ones that so fantastic that it lives in you heart forever
And I want you to know
That wherever you go
I’m always wishing the best for you
Next year you’ll be 71
But now your 70.
So may you birthday be the best
just like a bird celebrating in its nest.”

“You’re turning Seventy today,
You don’t look your age at all.
You’re the life and soul of any party,
You always have a ball.
I hope you’ll continue your positive ways,
You’re always very upbeat.
You like to keep up with the times,
You use facebook and always tweet!
You are an inspiration to all,
Both young and old.
You treat each minute of every day,
As if it was pure gold.
Wishing you all the best today,
I hope it’s filled with fun.
Then we’ll celebrate again,
When you turn seventy-one!”

“70th birthday poems to go in a card
need to be quite short unless you want
writer’s cramp. I like the following, it’s quite inoffensive!
Some would say you’re old
but I have to disagree
you’re the youngest 70
that could possibly ever be.”

Poetry: The Timeless Gift of Words
When it comes to celebrating milestones or expressing deep sentiments, words often triumph over material gifts. A well-chosen or self-crafted poem can resonate deeply, reminding the recipient of the special bond you share. If your friend’s birthday is on the horizon, consider gifting them a piece of your heart through a poetic message. This gesture is not only thoughtful but also timeless.
Your Queries Answered:
- Is humour a good ingredient for a birthday poem?
Absolutely! Laughter is a universal language. Infusing humour into your poem, especially if it’s for a friend who shares many inside jokes with you, can make the message all the more memorable. Just ensure it’s lighthearted and doesn’t cross boundaries of sensitivity.
- How do I add a personal touch to my poetic gift?
Inscribe the poem by hand on a beautiful piece of paper or a special birthday card. You could even accompany it with a personal note or memory. Remember, the more personal it is, the more cherished it’ll be.
- I’m not a Wordsworth or a Shakespeare; can I still write a poem?
Of course! Poetry is all about expressing feelings. It doesn’t need to be perfect; it just needs to be sincere. However, if you’re feeling hesitant, our list above is a great starting point. Pick one that resonates, and perhaps tweak it a bit to fit your friend’s personality.
- How do I ensure my poem strikes the right chord and remains suitable?
Always consider your friend’s preferences, values, and the nature of your relationship. Stick to positive memories, shared moments, and heartfelt wishes. Avoid subjects that could be considered touchy or controversial. The goal is to spread joy and reflect on the bond you share.
In conclusion, gifting a poem is like sharing a piece of your soul. It’s an enduring testament to the beauty of friendship and the cherished moments you’ve shared. So, this birthday, let your words weave magic in your friend’s heart.
