Funny 50th Birthday Poem

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…but 50 really isn’t old anyways, is it?)

Here is a funny 50th Birthday poem for you:

Over the Hill

You began to climb the hill
when you were just a tot
and now that you’re older
you might have forgot
that when you turn the big 5-0
it means that you will start to show
the signs of old age
but don’t let that get you down
the hill is easier now

Did you like it? How about a few more?

Birthday Gag Gifts

I thought about getting you
some black balloons
I thought about maybe
some really big glasses
a coffee mug that says hot flashes
a pair of obviously fake eyelashes
a fire extinguisher for your birthday cake

but instead I decided
the best gift of all
would probably be
to not remind you how old you are.

Happy Birthday!

50 Reasons
(This is a little poem inspired by the Paul Simon Song “50 Reasons to Leave Your Lover”

the problem is you’re not as young as you used to be
But it’s not that bad if you think creatively
I’ll try and help you think of how to be happy
there must be fifty reasons to celebrate today

So get out the cake, Jake
Blow up the balloon, June
Open the gifts – swift
It’s your birthday
Don’t be shy, guy
Don’t complain, Jane
Enjoy your day, Ray
You don’t have to do much
Just enjoy your birthday
it’s okay to be fifty

There’s so many things you’ve done
And in these years you’ve had some fun
so let’s celebrate it tonight
there must be fifty reasons to celebrate today

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.

Happy Birthday Poems For Your Boyfriend

birthdaypoem

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 – how will you know that the poem is just right or perfect? What can you write to make sure that he will love it?

Here are some ideas for what you can write about:

Acrostic Poems

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 “Happy Birthday” – you could use the poem below:

How much I love you
Always thinking of you
Perfect in every way
Perfect things you say
You are my best friend

Birthdays are special
It is the anniversary of the day you were born
Reminding us of the day you came into the world
To be thankful you are here
How amazing it all is
Destiny has brought us together
Amazing love together
You are the best!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Poem About Memories

A poem about memories that are special between the two of you is another great thing to write about in your poem. Maybe it’s when you first met, or something special you did together. Here’s an example:

You took my hand
and wrapped your arms
around me
making me smile
as we danced.

Date Poems: You could also write a special poem that is centered around the actual date of your boyfriend’s birthday.

September 15th

The leaves were starting to fall
and the kids were back in school
when it was decided it was time for you to be born

and you came to the world today
so that everyday
I could have someone I love
and who loves me too.

Write a Personal Joke Poem: A personal joke is a poem between the two of you that nobody else in the world would ever understand.

Here’s an example of one:

A scary platypus and a squirrel
were together on a cable line
when one asked the other, do you have the time?

Why yes, it’s time for your birthday.
And so they ran down together
and found a big jar of pickles
and knew it was the perfect gift of love.

(Does this poem make no sense? Of course it doesn’t – you’re not “in” on the personal jokes between two people concerning a platypus, a squirrel, or a jar of pickles.)

Poems in a Gift: 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.

For example, if I was giving someone a watch:

The hands here
ticking away time
remind me
to be thankful
of the time we have together
and your hands
holding mine
