You're Older Than We
Poet: Julie Hebert, © 2011
What's so great about your birthday?
Oh, let me tell you, it's so wonderfully great.
First of all you're turning another year older,
And the rest of us don’t get the discounted rate!
We're so glad you're older than we are,
As making fun of your age is such fun.
We do hope you know we're just kidding,
But man do we love to make pun.
We're sorry your aging is so humorous,
We'll all eventually be turning this age too,
But the funny thing is when we get to this age,
We'll still be younger than you!
Okay enough is enough,
We know when it's time to settle down.
We just hope you realize we're celebrating,
Our birthday friend who is the talk of the town!
Over The Hill?
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, © 2019
The years have been good to you my friend
But your age keeps climbing and seems to never end
When did you become so old
Tales we will tell will soon unfold.
We will celebrate your special day
We will talk of old days and the ways
In which we laughed and shared
Those were the days we have no cares.
But my friend I must say
It seems to me you're going a bit gray.
Are you truly going over the hill
Is it like they say a thrill?
But let me say no matter what
You, my friend, are as cute as a duck.
We still love you, no matter the age
In our minds, we will always be teenage!
Once A Year
Poet: Kate Summers
Birthdays only come once a year
But you are a friend all the year
So don't let getting older get you down
Continue to act like a clown.
Friends like you make me smile
Friends like you never go out of style
Even though you are getting old
You are still worth your weight in gold.
So Happy Birthday, my dear friend
Forget your age and just pretend
That youth is still with you on this day
Just wish those high numbers away!
Birthday Wishes
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
On your birthday, my dear friend so fine,
I wish you lots of cake and wine.
May your candles shine bright and bold,
Yet avoid the smoke alarm's scold.
Here's to laughter, joy, and cheer,
Another year older but don't you fear.
Happy birthday, buddy, let's make a toast,
To all the silly memories we love the most!
Your Age
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Wow, just look at your age
Proof that our friendship can pass
Many years and many a stage
A friendship that continues to last
Birthdays seem to come too fast
I sure don't feel as old as you
When I look at your age I am aghast
You're getting older that is so true
Don't let the wrinkles or gray hair
Get you down
Don't give age a second care
Keep on smilin', no big frowns!
A Birthday Tribute
Poet: Oliver Wendell Holmes
Who makes another's grief his own,
"Whose smile lends joy a double cheer;
Where lives the saint, if such be known?
Speak softly, — such an one is here!
Let's Reminisce
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
On your birthday, let's reminisce and share,
Of the time you blew out candles with not a care.
Remember the cake that caught on fire?
Or when you opened a gift to find expired attire.
Oh, the laughs we've had on this special day,
May this year bring more tales to make us cackle away.
So here's to you, my friend so dear,
May your birthday be filled with joy and cheer!
