TOAST TO A FRIEND CELEBRATING A BIG-O BIRTHDAY

Special Birthday Verses Poems Quotes and some good turning 40 jokes like this next one

(Birthday Poem Verse # 1)

Heartiest congratulations (Name)
On reaching the big (Four)-O
You've had a very hard and gruelling life
And Boy! does it show

So we asked the "Ten Years Younger" lass
If she could see her way clear
To make a programme about you
And I've got her reply right here

(Open envelope as if seeing letter for first time)

Dear Jon
I've studied the pics you sent me
And what is very clear
We're very good at what we do
But we're not that good, dear

There's not enough surgeons in this world
I don't wish to be mean
But have you considered a quick sand blast
Some glue and plasticine

And Jon, please don't read this out aloud
Lest it might offend
Oh! (pause)
Folks let's raise our glasses for a toast
To (Name) our very...very old friend

With advancing years you've gained understanding
That can't be denied
We couldn't have insulted you any more
But believe us, (Name), we tried

Birthday Verse # 6

Just because you're (30) (40) (50),
Don't despair, oh no
Overnight you won't discover
You've lost your get up and go.
Nor will you become all wrinkled,
Nor ache from head to toe.
So even though you're ripening
Don't regard it as a blow,
You won't suddenly look decrepit ....

...Cos that happened long ago!!

Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened. Jennifer Yane

It takes a long time to grow young.Pablo Picasso

On my 60th birthday my wife gave me a superb birthday present. She let me win an argument.

Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time.Jean Paul Richter

They say that age is all in your mind. The trick is keeping it from creeping down into your body.

To think, when one is no longer young, when one is not yet old, that one is no longer young, that one is not yet old, that is perhaps something.Samuel Beckett

There's even mawesomeThe words thirty, forty, fifty etc...are not good for rhyming but when used as "the big three-O", "four-O", "five-O" and so on, the rhyming possibilities greatly increase.

Special Birthday Verses Poems Quotes

Congratulations, Billy
You've reached the big "Four-O"
You were born in the last millennium
So that's a long, long time ago

While on numbers, it is useful to use, for example, 39 for anyone over 40:-

Happy Birthday (Billy)
And my, don't you look fine
Given your advancing years
Fast approaching 39

Or

You've outgrown my lap, but not my heart
O (Maureen) daughter of mine
Growing up's for trees, so why not stay
Forever 39

Or use the same approach for, not just the recipient's age but the sender's, as well:-

You're (24) already, (son)
Nearly over the hill, oh my
And as you face advancing years
Unfortunately, so do I

So let's make a deal together
We'll use the same party line
You're a smidgin' over 21
(You're a little under 21)
I'm a tad over 39
(I'm not quite 39)

And bringing Granny into the ruse

I heard about your mother's deal
I'll go along with it, that's fine
Now, raise your arm and swear this oath
"My Grandma's 59"

Special Birthday Verses Poems QuotesBirthday Poem Verse Quote # 12

Congratulations Mummsie
It's time to be running slow
After all, you're now an OAP
Having reached the big Six-O

It's time you put your feet up
To ease arthritic pains
Not lugging heavy luggage
On and off jet aeroplanes

It's time for shawl and slippers
And a touch of blue rinse/bleach
Not lying about half naked
On a foreign holiday beach

But as it's your birthday
You're entitled to get tipsy
A very happy birthday, Mum
You geriatric gypsy

Jon Bratton © 2007
