50th Birthday Poems For the Big Five Oh
Article 11 of 13: 50th Birthday Party Planning
Turning Five-Oh Doesn't Have to Be Gloomy
When your someone special is turning 50 years old, why not celebrate the "5-0" with an appropriate poem... something to mark the occassion, and have a little fun at the same time.
Just because they're older, wiser and wealthier, doesn't mean they can't laugh all the harder with you and your special gathering!

Today I turned fifty. I feel really good.
My body's still working quite well thanks. (Touch wood!)
My hair's not too grey, my wrinkles are few,
I can still touch my toes with my knuckles. (Can you?)
I'm quite full of vigour, just getting ripe.
(But they now print the phone book in much smaller type.)
My hearing's still good. What's that you say?
Speak clearly, don't mumble, your voice wafts away.
Inside this old body I'm still young, but then
If life starts at forty, I'm really just ten.

Getting Older
(from www.funnyjunksite.com)
It's birthday time again I see;
Another year's gone by.
We're older than we used to be;
The thought could make me cry.
For getting older is not such fun,
When there's hurting in your back,
And it's agony if you have to run,
And a pleasure to lie in the sack.
Yes getting older is quite a bore,
But to not get old is worse.
So "Happy Birthday!" let's shout once more,
And to heck with our ride in the hearse!
Hooray for getting older! Happy Birthday and many more.

Banned Birthday Poem
(from www.funnyjunksite.com)
I've been banned from having birthdays
A new rule has been made
Signed, sealed and delivered
By the local Fire Brigade!
They say that all those candles
Would create such a blaze
They'd have to come and put it out
And stay around for days!
So, I guess I'll have to party
Without the birthday cake,
Perhaps I'll light one candle
Just for old time's sake,
Those firemen! So fit and strong,
Such handsome looking men -
Whose birthday is it, anyway?
Let's light them all again!

Over The Hill
By Martin Dejnicki
(from www.special-birthday-poems.com )
You're over the hill,
So take a pill.
Aches and pains,
Always complains.
Supermarket clothes,
Everyone knows.
Children's taxi service,
Won't make you nervous.
Youth of old age,
Demand the best wage.
Relax and chill,
You're over the hill.

50th Truth
by Martin Dejnicki
(from www.special-birthday-poems.com )
Thinning hair,
Cannot be fair.
Bags under eyes,
Make you wise.
Extra pounds,
Join the clowns.
Varicose veins,
Feel like chains.
At 50 years,
Dismiss your fears.
Just like wine,
Complex and fine.

Age and Laughter
by Martin Dejnicki
(from www.special-birthday-poems.com )
Happy birthday, you're not getting old,
Stay in the game, it's not time to fold.
Wrinkles and grey hair, are just a new look,
Countless experiences, you should write in a book.
A birthday is seldom, a serious occasion,
Try not to take it, like the d-day invasion.
Laughter and jokes are within sight,
Stock up on both, all through the night.

Young at Heart
by Martin Dejnicki
(from www.special-birthday-poems.com )
Happy birthday young at heart,
So many decades, where to start?
With energy, like that pink bunny,
You make us look lazy, that's not funny!
Never-ending old school ways,
Filled with stories, to Amaze!
Listening has been lost with age,
You belong on theatre stage.
If you manage to forget,
We'll remind you, don't you fret.
Happy birthday young at heart,
Smile with joy, you old fart.
