FLIRTY AT 30
Today you have reached a benchmark
Yes - you cannot keep it in the dark
No more childish antics it’s now time to
embrace this new age
So celebrate your new acquisition as you
turn this landmark page
As it’s no use in moaning about the decade
now gone down the pan
So drink, party and be merry - (Richard) do it
while you can - Happy 30th Birthday
Margmax 2014
30 is after all only one more than 29
Think of it this way and you will be fine
However when you get to 31
This thought will be dead and gone
Oh heck just enjoy your birthday
Get through the day any which way
by Margmax 2013
Written for my niece:-
How have you got to be 30? how the years have flown
My little niece companion now has a family all of her own
We have spent many years enjoying things we have done together
So I wish you loads of happiness today and forever
by Margmax 2012
Wish I was 30 again just like you
Doing things over again whopee do
Would I change anything - you bet I would
If we could turn back time that would be good
by Margmax 2012
Reaching any birthday is a milestone so this age birthday poem I have written because I feel 30 is the first age we poke fun at :-
I won't pretend it's good 'cause it's not it's bad
You can no longer get away with the excuse of youth
Oh no for you now it has to be the truth
Mutton dressed as lamb is the phrase as you know
And as for all the stuff you slap on your face
This will now be classed as a big disgrace
Those heels that you strut on will be no more
Wedges and flaties so you don't end up on the floor
And as for the dye that you put on your hair
Well who's kiddin who we all know your not fair
But considering all this I am sure you will manage
To celebrate the decade without too much damage
It may take longer to get over when tomorrow arrives
But with planning an easy day I am sure you'll survive
by Margmax 2013
Today as you leave the 30's behind
Old age will descend on you, we think you'll find
It's your birthday so we'll tell you the truth
You're no longer in the first flush of youth
By Old Man Time you've definitely been caught
As the wrinkles appear you'll become the sensible sort
But hey, tomorrow's soon enough to turn the next page
Enjoy today and try, if you can, to forget your old age
by Margmax 2009
Today, as you leave your twenties behind
Old age will descend on you, we think you'll find
It's your birthday so, you deserve the truth
You're no longer in the first flush of youth
By Mr Advancing Years you've been most definitely caught
It's time to become a more sensible sort
But hey, tomorrow's soon enough to turn that page
For today drink alcohol to forget your decrepit old age
by Margmax 2009
Goodness me, are you really thirty
And yet you're still flirty,dirty and shirty
I suppose now you'll have to be
More refined, not unlike me
So when we have a night out downtown
Who's got the job of playing the clown
Not us, as we need to be toeing the line
I guess it'll be someone still 29
Margmax 2009
Here it is the day of all days
When your mother took to her bed and prayed
Hours later out you popped
Squawking loudly somethings never stop
Now here we are (30) years down the line
Celebrating each birthday both yours and mine
May it stay so until it’s the pension we are spending
As our friendship continues never ending
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY FRIEND
by Margmax 2011
30 is after all only one more than 29
Think of it this way and you will be fine
However when you get to 31
This thought will be dead and gone
Oh heck just enjoy your birthday
Get through the day any which way
by Margmax 2013
NAUGHTY AT 40
40 is the new 30 - so they say
Nice way of saying your getting on by the way
Whatever you do it's harder to stay trim
For the first time in your life your trying to slim
You need more sleep than you used to do
Things you used to fit into a day now are few
A night on the toon now takes some organisation
You used to be able to do nights without preparation
But what the heck there's nowt you can do
The birthdays keep coming that's a good job to
So on this special eventful day
Make it count in everyway
by Margmax
Cannot believe you are forty today
I have followed you through life’s pathway
From your youth to maturity I have been there
and a friendship together I know we share
So on this milestone birthday I am delighted to say
My (young) friend A Very Happy 40th Birthday.
by Margmax 2012
Flirty at (40), that's the way
what a heavenly way to spend the day
you still have what it takes, that's plain to see
so enjoy your day, fabulous ( forty) and
Happy Birthday from me
Margmax 2010
Cannot believe you are forty today
I have followed you through life’s pathway
From your youth to maturity I have been there
and a friendship together I know we share
So on this milestone birthday
I am delighted to say
My (young) friend A Very Happy 40th Birthday
by Margmax
My Oh my how the years fly by
I remember a lad with jet black(brown/blonde) hair
Now it is peppered white - life is just not fair
I remember a lad tall and slim
Now he should be visiting the gym
I remember a lad tough and strong
Years have passed what has gone wrong?
I remember a lad who always stood by me
Some things never change -
by Margmax 2005
Your birthday today I hear
Brings the big (50) very near
I think the (50's) is a fine decade
So embrace the (50's) as the (40's) fade
So make the most of this 49th year
The last one until those 50's appear
by Margmax
NIFTY AT 50
Age is just a number who said that?
It may be a number but it matters and that’s a fact
So on your (50) birthday
old man/woman let’s pretend
It’s whatever number you choose until this day comes to an end
Margmax 2012
Half century that's really old
But you are wearing well so go for gold
Have a good day and a fantastic party night
Heard you are not at work tomorrow so that's alright
Margmax 2011
Recovering from a heavy night is not so easy now
It takes a bit more time and a bit more know how
So pace yourself at 50 things happen much much slower
But knowing the gal/guy you are bet you are still a bit of a goer
by Margmax 2012
Leaving your (40's) for the next decade
Looks and figure now beginning to fade
It is enough to turn you to the drink
Wait a minute - let me think
The drink kicked in long ago
What is the next thing left to go
Teeth, eyes,the hair on your head
Life looking glum - take to your bed
But not until we get the chance to say
Happy Big (50) have a wonderful day
by Margmax 2010
Happy 50th birthday mate you must be feeling bad
Birthdays are celebrations but this one's a bit sad
Making it to half a century, well done to you
Can you make the pub tonight or is that too much to do?
If you need a lift please give us a call
Cause at your age we would not want you to fall
If you do not make it be sure that we will
We will have a drink on your behalf and leave you the bill
by Margmax 2010&
The big 50, oh goodness me
your over the hill that's plain to see
on the slippery slope, sliding to the pension
oh my god, I can feel the tension
holding back the years can't be done
so just forget it, and have some fun
I know your not happy but there's nothing you can do
It has to be celebrated because that's what we do
Every landmark birthday has to be marked
So just accept it as a bit of a lark
Paint on a smile and don your best clothes
You may even enjoy who knows
So accept all the jibes in the fun way they're meant
Because remember every birthday we reach is heaven sent
HAPPY (50TH) BIRTHDAY (MY FRIEND)
by Margmax 2012
Oh my goodness you are there
50 it's not a joke, it's real, now you will need to take care
Not so nimble, things take a bit longer don't they?
Well just remember and don't cram so much into a day
But today is your birthday no matter the number
So best foot forward no time to slumber
Celebrate and do it in style
Remember we are all only here for a while
HAPPY BIG 50 MAKE IT A ONE TO REMEMBER
by Margmax 2013
Life can be fun at 50 I really know that’s true
You really are not old you just are not that new
You can do all the things you have always done
Maybe a bit slower and maybe not as much fun
So my (friend) I wish you a birthday that suits you
However you may spend it whatever you may do
This comes with lots of love and wishes by the score
That your birthday year is fantastic and then a little more
by Margmax 2013
Your score is pinned on the door
A landmark birthday you can’t ignore
So we are adding our wishes for a day that’s sublime
Your (50th) birthday - have a wonderful time
by Margmax 2014
The following was written for a 50th birthday for someone taking up golf but suitable for any age:-
We understand this is the new you
Taking up golf clubs instead of a snooker cue
The bracing fresh air will put roses in your cheeks
But hitting balls with a stick is not a pastime for the meek
So when you are struggling around the course in the wind and the rain
Remind yourself it's a pleasure you chose and you're not insane
You have reached the age that when you do stupid things
People will excuse you and put it down to an old age fling
by Margmax2011
The following was written for a 50 year old biker and the picture on the card was a man on a scooter:-
We know you have your eyes on a new bike to ride
But getting older your capabilities could be hard to hide
So we thought we would give you a helping hand
And we have found this bike which we consider to be just the brand
We can picture you zooming around
With Maggie holding on her feet just off the ground
OVER THE HILL IN YOUR 60’s
Think of the pluses that 60 brings
Bus passes, discounts and similar things
It's only one more than 59
And all that year brought was a few more lines
So think of the pluses and don't make a fuss
Be happy at 60 your now one of us
Margmax
There may be many wrinkles than can be ironed out
But everyone's a story of that there is no doubt
So on this milestone birthday just think about the pluses
Lots of pensioner discounts not forgetting free travel on the buses
So welcome to the 60's my friend it's not that bad
It has it's compensations of which you will be glad
So happy 60th birthday have a lovely day
Doing what you do best in your own special way.
Margmax
Your such a remarkable lady
It's hard to believe today you are 80
You take pleasure from the simple things in life
May it continue so without any strife
And may today be extra special for you
Because your a special lady through and through
Margmax
Today your 60
face it, embrace it
there’s nothing you can do about it
Positives can be found
look hard they are somewhere around
Your’e here so there’s one big plus
and it’s your birthday so folk will make a bit of a fuss
So enjoy being 60 at least for today
Because tomorrow you enter your 61st year by the way
by Margmax 2012
Well here we are the 6th decade
As the 5th one now begins to fade
into your memory box the 50's go
New one's to be made as the 60's grow
Look at the bright things that are ahead
Retirement - you can stay in bed
Meal times can be when you wish
Or when (Maggie) decides to produce a dish
So pluses are there I think you will find
A new decade does not need to be a bind
Because really when you think about it
This birthday has just added one digit
by Margmax 2022
Today as you reach the age of 65
Celebrate with energy and show you are alive
It is no good being gloomy as the numbers accumulate
So embrace, enjoy before it is too late

the birthday that see’s you at 65

Hello my friend welcome to your 65th year
A birthday age that we now share
We were sixteen not that long ago

So we will just have to do the best we can

by Margmax 2011
Another birthday has arrived at your door
Now 67 years have hit the floor
Never mind you are still around
Even if your body and mind are not quite as sound
Age can have it's compensations so we are told
Maturing like wine or a good cheese with mould
So raise your glass and toast in another year
The number cannot be changed so pretend you don't care
by Margmax 2012
69 today I can hear your sigh

But ignore all the gloom and just have a good time
Because it's your birthday and you are still fine
by Margmax

It's your birthday and you should know
That Six-O is the new Five-O
So that's alright, you've got 10 more years to go

I know you feel a little sad today
You reached that age when you don’t feel like shouting hooray
But celebrate it with great vigor
Because you no longer need to watch your figure
You can eat your way through calories galore
You can dress like a slob who could ask for more
You are not expected to be always looking pristine
You can give way to your whims however extreme
So embrace the benefits that age brings
As youth has it’s problems with other things
And now that I have cheered you up a bit
Happy (60/70)th birthday you old git

A day when you blow out 80 candles on a very special cake
I hope that on this very special birthday

Even the ones who are now up above
I hope that when the day is eventually done

The days pictured on this card are long gone
But it is good for progress to move on
Not so good that time clocks up our age
But good that at 81 years old you are not in your dotage
We wish you a wonderful birthday today
And a year ahead that continues to be good in every way
Not quite a telegram from the Queen yet
But getting quite near so I will lay a bet
You make it to that century year
With just a little bit of care
So happy (82) birthday my friend
I hope it's a good one from beginning to end
And that the year up to the next one is worry free
Because at your age that is the best present you see
by Margmax 2012
Today is your birthday (87) have gone by

CENTURY 100
The following poem for a 100 birthday can be said as a toast at the birthday celebration or sent in a greeting card :-
A very special birthday for a very special you
You have witnessed so much in your lifetime
And not many folk reach your age and look so fine
Her royal majesty will be sending her congratulations
As well as lots of other folk not forgetting your relations
An achievement like this needs to be celebrated
Reaching your 100th year cannot be overrated
So dear (mother/sister etc) we raise a glass to you
To say well done and of course Happy Birthday too
You have been a wonderful (mother/sister etc) and touched so many people’s lives
So on behalf of everybody here today we are so happy you have survived
For us to say Happy 100th birthday
or last two lines if being sent by one family in a card
We are so glad you are our (mother/sister etc) and that you have survived
So that we can say today Happy 100th birthday
by Margmax 2012
SIMPLY ANY AGE
You have reached that certain birthday just as we all do
Age is just a number sometimes it is not kind
But when today is over I am sure you will find
All the love and wishes which were sent to you today
Were sent because your special in every single way
by Margmax 2010
Hey Girl
don't hide it, flaunt it
Life begins at any age you like
Happy Birthday
by Margmax 2010
Age is just a number we would often like to swop
But that is not possible we are stuck with what we've got
So on this monumental birthday celebrate in style
Yes celebrate with enthusiasm even if you have to rest awhile
by Margmax 2011
You have now had a few birthdays I know
And here is a wish that you have many more
Because you are a wonderful person that I simply adore
by Margmax 2011
If you could choose an age to stick at what would it be
You could test it out and if you liked it decide that is the one for me
Of course it would have some problems that you would have to override
Like wrinkles, grey hair and saying you are younger than your child
So do you feel like owning up to your birth certificate year
I think it's time to add a few because things no longer compare
by Margmax 2011
Birthdays can be good or can be bad
It depends on how many of them you have had
As you have had quite a few
Guess this is not a good day for you
But stop being miserable paint on a smile
Even if you feel depressed and could run a mile
by Margmax 2011
I love birthdays I do
It gives me the chance to say to friends like you
Happy Birthday and I am glad to see
You are clocking them up the same as me
by Margmax 2011
My friend these birthdays seem to come too quick
I know we chose a number upon which we would stick
But I think we may have to add on a few
As folk are smiling when I troll out an age which is not new
Maybe we should take a good look and compare
By looking at ourselves through others eyes
And changing our age to one nobody could deny
by Margmax 2011
Pick a number one that you like
Make it believable then it will work alright
Work out the year of birth and practice it well
There you go birthday celebrations without an age that swells
by Margmax 2011
I love birthdays when they are not mine
So seeing as today it’s yours that makes it fine
Have a blast make it a day to remember all year
Because the next one is around the corner it’s just not fair
HAPPY THIS BIRTHDAY
by Margmax 2011
The hunk on this card no longer resembles you
But never mind today you will still get a kiss or two
So Happy Birthday have a great day
Sending love and kisses your way
by Margmax 2011
Sending you wishes for a great day
Hope it’s enjoyable in every way
And as you add another year onto your age
Hope it’s a good year as each day turns it’s page
by Margmax 2011
Happy birthday to you on this day
Although I am sure you feel like me
Another year older you just do not want to be
But the alternative is much worse
So welcome the birthday and this verse
By Margmax 2011
No doubt today you will receive many cards referring to your age
They may be amusing or endearing or simply send you into a bit of a rage
So in this message which I am sending you no reference to age I will make
I will simply say Happy Birthday my (friend/brother etc) will all the candles fit on the cake
by Margmax 2011
Each Year We Grow
Every age is special you know
Because each year we achieve we surely grow
We grow in all different ways; height, weight and wisdom
So as we clock up each new year we grow some
Reaching this age you should be ten feet tall
But height has stopped and bits have started to fall
Never mind I am sure it's all now in your brain
You must be so so wise shame the memory is on the wain
So celebrate every birthday welcome the new age in
Because every one is special you will never be that age again
So let me take this opportunity to say
A very happy (?) birthday - have a wonderful day

We have reached that time of year once more
To add another one onto your score
We hope the year turns out to be
A one that you have been pleased to see

Memories are precious and we think of them more the older we get
In quiet moments out they pop making us smile and making us fret
But birthdays are a celebration of another year achieved
So today think happy thoughts of the new age you have received

Now let me think what does this birthday bring
A new decade indeed you have entered mine
Never mind console yourself with a bottle of fine wine

Birthdays become less fun the older we become
It’s life, it’s what happen’s since life begun
So don’t waste time fretting at the number you’ve landed on
Just celebrate while you can shout Bingo at each one
