Turning the Big 5-0
The big 5-0 is finally here,
Yes, you're turning 50 this year.
50 years of hopes and dreams,
Rainy days, and golden sunbeams,
Turning 50 is not so bad, it seems.
Take a look back on all you've achieved so far.
A family that loves you, and thinks you're a star,
Friends who have proven themselves through the years,
By standing beside you through laughter and tears.
Turning 50 is really quite good, it appears.
Because You're 50
F is for how fabulous everyone thinks you are.
I is for how interesting all your experiences have made you.
F is also for the fun you bring into everyone's lives.
T is for how the tender way you show people that you care.
Y is for just being you, the person that everyone adores.
Not Quite Over the Hill
Over the hill is what they used to say,
To anyone celebrating a 50th birthday.
Don't listen to anything that you're told,
Being 50 is great, you're not really so old.
Just 'cause your knees are weak doesn't mean you're getting old,
And if your hand's a little shaky, it's still nice enough to hold.
So your hair's a little thinner, don't waste time worrying about that.
So your waist is a bit thicker, you're just more cuddly with a little fat.
And even if your gums are starting to recede,
You can always buy more teeth if you really feel the need.
So don't fret about turning 50, don't face the day with dread,
'Cause age is just a number, and it's all inside your head.
You're really still as young as you believe yourself to be,
So embrace the fact you're 50 and celebrate with glee.
The Gifts You Have Given Us
Turning 50 is quite an occasion
So we really want to say,
How we truly feel about you
On this very special day.
Thank you for the wisdom
That you shared all through the years.
Thanks for all the times that you
Talked away our fears.
Thanks for being there for us
To console us through our tears,
And share the many happy times
That we've enjoyed over the years.
We have some gifts to give you,
But they never can compare,
To the gifts that you have given us,
Just letting us know you, and the love you share.
Turning 50 Is Not So Bad
Turning 50 is kind of nifty
When you consider the alternative.
You're not pushing daisies or feeding the worms,
You still have a lot of life left to live.
So make the most of your golden years,
Take time to see the sights and travel.
Better to roll down the highway now,
While you're above, not beneath, the gravel.
AND I WANT JELLY AND ICE CREAM
by Derek Ward
(stratton, cornwall, england)
IF YOU GET A CHOCOLATE MUFFIN,
AND IMPALE IT, ON A STICK,
YOU CAN JUST FIT FIFTY CANDLES,
THEN YOU HAVE TO LIGHT THEM, QUICK!
APART FROM GETTING BURNED EIGHT TIMES,
I GUESS THE SADDEST FACT,
IS THAT YOU NEVER GET TO EAT IT,
COS’ IT ENDS UP COVERED IN WAX!
A Delightful Age
by Deryn Pittar
(New Zealand)
I look at my hands, liver spotted, blue veined
and muse on the taste of the cheese by that name.
I ponder and think of one thing and another
and the face in the mirror that looks like my mother
I go to Tai Chi for balance and hope
I don't get Alzheimer's and try to elope
with the neighbour's hubby who tidies my garden,
(he says it will help stop his arteries harden)
I don't need home help, I can still climb a ladder
the heart's a bit "dickey" and so is the bladder.
If this is old age then it's pretty good value
so pour me a wine and pass the Sudoku
Happy Half !00
by Kayla Metoxen
(Green Bay, WI, USA)
Turning 5-0 is nothing to fear!
It all goes downhill from here.
You'll soak your teeth next to your bed
You'll thin out atop your head
You'll slow down and hate loud things.
Your underarms will look like wings.
You'll never have to wait in line.
You'll even make a Tom Jones shrine!
Happy half a hundred! Happy Half a lifetime!
More happy 50th birthday poems ... 50 Years of you...
by Jenny
(Rushden, UK)
There was a young man of 50,
Who had always been rather thrifty,
Now with penny's to spare, and a gift to share,
He's happily retired, and drinking whisky!
WELCOME TO 50
by Sandy Stert Benjamin
(Los Angeles, CA, USA)
It's not very young
nor is it old.
It's just in the middle
or so we are told.
Still, I am younger
and so thrilled to be,
I’m glad you are 50
and that it’s not me!
He's 50
by Helena Angell
(St. Augustine, FL USA)
"Wow – 50," he thought.
Guess I ought
Not be too sad
No, I should be glad!
For I still have
my health, my smarts and my teeth!
I can still play, think well and eat!!!
Oh, wish for youth
So free and strong?
Hmmm…NO, better to
Be "in the now"
Where I belong!
Fifty and Counting
by Joe Massingham
(Canberra, Australia)
Life is just three score years and ten
or so the good book says,
so now you've got to two and ten
you'll need to count the days
until you get to the moment when
you'll either have to offer prayers
or start all over again,
ignoring the startled stares
of old pals who can't unbend.
Hill Climber
another funny 50th birthday poem by Heather Spiva
(Sacramento, CA )
I bet you never thought 50 would come,
on your doorstep like a ghost of the future.
Yet it?s arrived, and just like a bad dream,
it beckons you over the hill (like an aging loser).
But, the uphills climb's done, now you're treading the top,
and the top means you're done age-fighting.
And when all your friends are climbing up the same hill,
you'll be flying your way back down it!
Happy birthday, hill-climber.
Birthday Math
Another funny 50th birthday poem by Kathy J. Rabon
(Longs, SC, USA)
Fifty years have come and gone
since the day that you were born.
Half a century, or five decades,
is the amount of time that it equates.
Yet no matter how much has changed,
the math remains the same.
But why worry about the amount of the number
when you cannot ever be a second younger?
For no one can subtract years or time.
In fact, they will keep on multiplying.
Understand that each year that you live,
you and the world have been given a gift.
And for this, we should celebrate.
So I'll begin by saying "Happy Birthday!"
Old and New
by Andrew Kinnear
(UK, London)
You went to the doctor,
the day before the day
you turned.
He told you of your health,
and said you were going
to fall.
Half a century later,
You look back to that equator;
"A hundred I have turned,
no need to have been concerned"
(about your blood pressure).
50 is nifty!
by Amelia
(Florida)
Happy Birthday..you are 50!
Isn't that so very nifty?
Half a century has gone by.
Since you were a gleam in your daddy's eye.
Hope the next 50 years are grand
Before the good Lord takes you by the hand
and leads you to the promised land!
The Denial
Big and bold,
The age it seems is old,
many people don't get there,
so with you we want to share,
that you are there,
Go on wear the 50 badge I dare...YOU
A Hopeful Century of Health
A Funny 50th Birthday Poem by Rob Proietti
(Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, United Kingdom)
Half a decade,
…and still no hearing aid.
No broken hips or broken shoulder blades.
Just another chapter for a few more of life’s crusades.
So without any further delay,
…Happy birthday!

Happy birthday
Buddhist Funny 50th Birthday Poem
by Richard Schiffman
(NY, NY)
The calendar has been spreading unfounded rumors:
it alleges that I was born on such and such a day in May;
it calculates that I have been kicking around
for blankety blank years now. I say, don’t believe all
the blankety blank you hear. Somebody has been lugging
my name about, that’s clear. When I spot him
in the mirror, I blabber out-- that’s me! But the mirror
is a trickster, and I don’t trust what I see.
Nor what I say, which-- when all is said and done--
is nothing more veracious than the wagging of a tongue.
The mind is hardly wiser, though it thinks it thinks
my thoughts. The thoughts it thinks are thoughtless,
and that makes the thinker naught. As for friends who’ve
called today to wish me happy birthday-- it would be
rude to disagree. But the birthday boy that’s happy
is rejoicing in mortality. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy,
just as happy as can be. Yet the Buddha bids me
ponder whether what can be is me.

• You’re 50! You might be single and lonely, but at least you look younger than your age. Cheers!
• You know you’re 50 when the candles cost more than the cake!
• Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to me, I have all of my teeth and I still get carded at the bar.
