			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Writing a funny 50th birthday poem is a great way to show someone you are thinking of them and brighten up their day on their birthday. It might even make them see the lighter side of getting old. (Haha, okay maybe not&#8230;but 50 really isn&#8217;t old anyways, is it?)</p>
<p>Here is a funny 50th Birthday poem for you:</p>
<p><strong>Over the Hill</strong></p>
<p>You began to climb the hill<br />
when you were just a tot<br />
and now that you&#8217;re older<br />
you might have forgot<br />
that when you turn the big 5-0<br />
it means that you will start to show<br />
the signs of old age<br />
but don&#8217;t let that get you down<br />
the hill is easier now</p>
<p>Did you like it? How about a few more?</p>
<p><strong>Birthday Gag Gifts</strong></p>
<p>I thought about getting you<br />
some black balloons<br />
I thought about maybe<br />
some really big glasses<br />
a coffee mug that says hot flashes<br />
a pair of obviously fake eyelashes<br />
a fire extinguisher for your birthday cake</p>
<p>but instead I decided<br />
the best gift of all<br />
would probably be<br />
to not remind you how old you are.</p>
<p>Happy Birthday!</p>
<p><strong>50 Reasons</strong><br />
(This is a little poem inspired by the Paul Simon Song &#8220;50 Reasons to Leave Your Lover&#8221;</p>
<p>the problem is you&#8217;re not as young as you used to be<br />
But it&#8217;s not that bad if you think creatively<br />
I&#8217;ll try and help you think of how to be happy<br />
there must be fifty reasons to celebrate today</p>
<p>So get out the cake, Jake<br />
Blow up the balloon, June<br />
Open the gifts &#8211; swift<br />
It&#8217;s your birthday<br />
Don&#8217;t be shy, guy<br />
Don&#8217;t complain, Jane<br />
Enjoy your day, Ray<br />
You don&#8217;t have to do much<br />
Just enjoy your birthday<br />
it&#8217;s okay to be fifty</p>
<p>There&#8217;s so many things you&#8217;ve done<br />
And in these years you&#8217;ve had some fun<br />
so let&#8217;s celebrate it tonight<br />
there must be fifty reasons to celebrate today</p>
<p>We hope you enjoy these poems and you are free to use and print any of them to make a special gift for someone you care about who is turning 50. You can also post them on your own website or blog as long as you place a link back to Poemsbox.com. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-121" title="birthdaypoem" src="http://poemsbox.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/birthdaypoem.jpg" alt="birthdaypoem" width="300" height="199" /></p>
<p>Writing happy birthday poems for your boyfriend is a very special way to let him know how much you love him on his birthday. The hardest part is deciding what you should write about &#8211; how will you know that the poem is just right or perfect? What can you write to make sure that he will love it?</p>
<p><em>Here are some ideas for what you can write about:</em></p>
<p><strong> Acrostic Poems</strong></p>
<p>Acrostic poems are great and usually some of the easiest poetry to write on your own. All you need is to pick a word or phrase and spell it out. For example, say you want to write a poem with the phrase &#8220;Happy Birthday&#8221; &#8211; you could use the poem below:</p>
<p><strong>H</strong>ow much I love you<br />
<strong>A</strong>lways thinking of you<br />
<strong>P</strong>erfect in every way<br />
<strong>P</strong>erfect things you say<br />
<strong>Y</strong>ou are my best friend</p>
<p><strong>B</strong>irthdays are special<br />
<strong>I</strong>t is the anniversary of the day you were born<br />
<strong>R</strong>eminding us of the day you came into the world<br />
<strong>T</strong>o be thankful you are here<br />
<strong>H</strong>ow amazing it all is<br />
<strong>D</strong>estiny has brought us together<br />
<strong>A</strong>mazing love together<br />
<strong>Y</strong>ou are the best!</p>
<p>HAPPY  BIRTHDAY!</p>
<p><strong>Poem About Memories</strong></p>
<p>A poem about memories that are special between the two of you is another great thing to write about in your poem. Maybe it&#8217;s when you first met, or something special you did together. Here&#8217;s an example:</p>
<p>You took my hand<br />
and wrapped your arms<br />
around me<br />
making me smile<br />
as we danced.</p>
<p><strong>Date Poems</strong>: You could also write a special poem that is centered around the actual date of your boyfriend&#8217;s birthday.</p>
<p><em>September 15th<br />
</em><br />
The leaves were starting to fall<br />
and the kids were back in school<br />
when it was decided it was time for you to be born</p>
<p>and you came to the world today<br />
so that everyday<br />
I could have someone I love<br />
and who loves me too.</p>
<p><strong>Write a Personal Joke Poem</strong>: A personal joke is a poem between the two of you that nobody else in the world would ever understand.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an example of one:</p>
<p>A scary platypus and a squirrel<br />
were together on a cable line<br />
when one asked the other, do you have the time?</p>
<p>Why yes, it&#8217;s time for your birthday.<br />
And so they ran down together<br />
and found a big jar of pickles<br />
and knew it was the perfect gift of love.</p>
<p>(Does this poem make no sense? Of course it doesn&#8217;t &#8211; you&#8217;re not &#8220;in&#8221; on the personal jokes between two people concerning a platypus, a squirrel, or a jar of pickles.)</p>
<p><strong>Poems in a Gift</strong>: Another neat and creative thing you can do is to write a poem about the gift you are giving him to make it a surprise or you can choose random things and attach a poem to it.</p>
<p>For example, if I was giving someone a watch:</p>
<p>The hands here<br />
ticking away time<br />
remind me<br />
to be thankful<br />
of the time we have together<br />
and your hands<br />
holding mine</p>
