50th Birthday Rhymes
for those turning fifty
Heartiest congratulations (Bill) (husband), dear
On reaching the big (Five) (Six)-O
You've been a dynamic whirlwind all your life
But now you're running slow


To my "lets go upstairs and make passionate love"
You used to bound up with glee
Now it's "I can't do stairs and passion ..
You'll have to choose which one it's to be"

You used to be insatiable
You were always there on cue
Now the expression "all nighter" means
Not getting up for the loo

50th Birthday Rhymes

As for the fact you're thinning
That's hardly fair
You're not follicularly challenged
You've just outgrown your hair

Lots of folk have 40 winks
That's a natural response
You do that and read the paper
While watching telly, all at once

So it's OK for you to slow down
You're getting older, after all
It's time for you to invest in a pipe
Some slippers and a shawl

The clues that you're getting old
Are there (Bill) it's true
Your belt won't buckle any more
But your knees most certainly do

You've entered your (60th)(70th) decade
But you look good all the same
Who cares if your hair is thin and grey
And you'll suit a Zimmer frame


This is the web page that has a whole bunch of "age insults" that can be chosen to incorporate into your own happy funny, humorous nay hilarious sweet poem suitable for the half Century birthday of a husband or, with adaption, a friend or family member

We've been together since we were young
We're now getting old, and how
The fire is still within us
We just call it heartburn now

Now you've reached this old old age
Don't start to dye your hair
Don't think of having face lifts
And don't change the clothes you wear

Don't modify your language
Don't rebel and cause outrage
Decide to do the decent thing
Just lie about your age

Anyway you're not at all like a (50)(60) year old
And I mean what I say
Mind you, being a (Jim Reeves) fan
Is a dead giveaway

Enough of all these insults
I do hope you realise
How highly you’re respected
How kind you are, and wise

God bless you on your birthday
Let the celebrations start
Enjoy life’s oh so precious gifts
And remain young at heart.

For age is just a state of mind
And life can be such fun
And you still know how to party
As much as anyone

So let's make this a memorable occasion
In every single way
And I'll be there to help you
Ensure it's a wonderful day

The love of friends and family
Will be with you today
So enjoy the many wishes
Which are bound to come your way

Let your (50th) (60th) Birthday
Be the best one of your life
...so far..
This comes with love from (Name)
Your best friend and wife

Chronologically gifted, you’ve aged like fine wine,
Complex & fruity, bordering on perfection
Except that your ears, eyes and memory don’t work

And you to struggle to get an erection

You’re not old, just youthfully challenged.
But you’ve become a wise sage
However, being as you are between desirability and complete senility

You’re at that awkward age

The big Five 0 is here
The first flush of youth has gone
It's not about age, it's about attitude.
Unfortunately, you’ve got one

Unfortunately, youth is no longer on your side
You’re most decidedly over the hill
But on the bright side, old age and treachery
Will always beat youth and skill.
