Birthday Verses Poems Quotes, Messages, Sayings
 Hoping your Birthday is wondrous 
In every which way
 And throughout all next year
 You have happiness day after day

 © V4C

Is this your birthday?
 'Tis alas! too clear,
 'Tis but the funeral
 Of the former year.  
I wrote that
 With pride, fit to burst 
But Alexander Pope 
Wrote it first 
But not to you, dear friend 
Did these sentiments he bid 
And not in your birthday card.  
But I just did 

 © V4C

This card brings Birthday wishes most sincere
And you may think words are cheap, I fear
But I've included an invisible slice of niceness
And a (wife's*) love and loyalty and now it's priceless

*(wife's/husband's/mother's/father's/ friend's/daughter's/son's)

My Birthday wish, this year for you

Have a wondrous birthday and year

It’s your (53rd) birthday
 May it be the happiest and the best.
 Outshining, Overshadowing, Outdoing 
And, indeed, eclipsing, all of the rest
  Howsabout that for an overblown Birthday Greeting?

 © V4C

Happy Birthday. You've got a great life,
You're healthy, you look wonderful, your tummy's flat
How could a measly present from me
Compete with all of that?

 © V4C

Anyone can have a Birthday
But someone as nice as yourself
Deserves the very best of things
Better than most everyone else

The specific sections we have...follow after the general purpose birthday poems

...but first, I've seen a growing number of requests for poems that ask that guests at a birthday bash give a donation to charity rather than bring/send a gift to the birthday boy/girl
We live in a World where many have the means to buy almost anything they want and it makes the giving of a gift kinda redundant. What better than to turn this to a benefit to charity.

Here's a poem

Should you be contemplating a hugely expensive and overblown gift
To me, your well deserving, and very dear friend
A donation to charity
Truly, would please me, no end

Enjoy today, but careful as you go

Birthday Verses Poems Quotes

I like to remember friends 
I think it’s such a blast 
To send a special greeting 
To a friend from the past

Yes, I like to remember friends 
Who are in my birthday book 
But I don’t know how they are now 
Or even how they look

But my dear, dear friend 
Do I remember you? 
Frankly, not at all
 It’s just a ritual, I’m going through

Kidding, (Bill), I’m kidding 
Have a good ‘un

  © V4C

Consider this, if I may be so bold.

Just ask any eighty year old

Birthday Verses Poems Quotes

Birthday Quotes is a huge search but really quotes by famous folk are not particularly good for a birthday card. I suspect that what people really want are birthday sentiments. For example,

Have a lovely jubbly kinda day

Here's a whole bunch of birthday sentiments that I've written which make a change from
Have a happy birthday
or
Have a nice day

They could be used for different friends, on their own or with this verse
It's your birthday so....
Have the sort of day
That will make you say
"Hip, hip hooray"
Have a whale of a day

And the chances oughta be fair
You'll have a cloud nine sorta year

Jon Bratton © 2013

The following can stand alone or be used with the above verse, which with different descriptions for the day and for the year gives thousands of different combinations

Have a whale of a day
Have a tickled pink day 
Have a first rate day
Have a five star day
Have a top notch day
Have a World class day
Have a 24 karat day
Have a cloud nine day
Have a sunny side up day
Have a chirpy chirpy cheep cheep day 
Have a hundred proof, gilt edged day 

The combinations increase if you combine many together in an amusing exagerated way
Have a first rate, five star, top notch, world class, 24 karat day 
or
Have a sunny side up, chirpy, chirpy cheep cheep, rinky dink, walking on air kinda day

Have a zippety do da day
Have a zippity doo dah day

There are several ways to spell this Disney creation and indeed the song lends itself to be used for a birthday
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
My, oh my it's your birthday!
Plenty of sunshine heading your way
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay

Mister Bluebird on your shoulder
It's the truth, it's actch'll
Ev'rything is satisfactch'll
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
Have a wonderful feeling, a wonderful birthday!

Have a gloriously gorgeous day
Have a top drawer day 
Have a peach of a day
Have a day of days  day
Have a rinky dink day
Have a putting on the ritz day
Have a pizzazz filled day
