Happy Birthday. My thoughts are free to go anywhere, but it's surprising how often they head in your direction.

I have lots of birthday verses and poems on this website but this web page concentrates on one-liners, the things you might want to hand-write, particularly for the special milestone birthdays..30th, 40th, 50th, 60th. That's not to say that I haven't written poems. I have, based on pithy and inspirational quotes so that they become unique and appropriate for birthday messages. I hope you find something useful here, and if not, go to my other pages of birthday card messages entitled 
Unique Birthday Wishes

At another year
You'd probably not boggle

And loosens stiff bits
Removes stickiness
And lubes your pits

Middle Age is when your former class mates 

Are so decrepit and frail

In recognising how young you’ve remained

They oh so miserably fail



Happy Birthday. Hope you have a good 'un.

I was trying to think of something,

Don’t think me unkind,

To get you for your birthday.

But nothing came to mind

So here’s a birthday thought

To get you over being upset

The best birthdays of all are those

That haven’t arrived as yet.

Happy Birthday. Hope you have a good 'un.

Comes at a bad time, for sure

There’s still no known cure

Sexier, inclined to dream

And prone to self delude

Forget the present, I didn't get you one

To eat more cakes

And another place....that aches.

Where smiles have been

For a woman of your age

By a wise man I was told

If we could be twice young

And, of course, twice old

Live so much longer, true.

Therefore it shows that statistically,

Birthdays are good for you.

Old age is like a plane flying through a storm.
Once you are aboard
there is nothing you can do about it.
