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
