The lazy person's gift
Is cash stuck in a card
It's what a person does
Who doesn't try very hard
But I thought long and hard
I pondered day and night
Sweated that I'd get it wrong
Knowing you'd get it right
You'd pick the perfect gift for you
That's when this thought came in a flash
This is not just cash I'm giving you
It's a thoughtful person's cash

Having been through PMT and HRT
You deserve an OBE and a PhD
While you're very old, you're not RIP
But you're overdue for an MOT
And I don't need ESP
Indeed, any B can clearly see
You're a (60) year old wrinkle-ly
Congrats, you're now an OAP
But hey, with a posh frock and a bit of slap
you can be dead pretty..
...for a pensioner
Happy Birthday ( Mildrid )

For a new teenager
Start being very awkward
Refuse to eat your greens
Turn your room into a trash pile (Council Tip)
It's the law, you've reached your teens
Throw several tantrums daily
Become a right stroppy toad
You've got no choice you must obey
The Teenage Behaviour Code
It's said you'll get all grumpy
And spend too long in bed
Say "it's not fair" an awful lot
In your teenage years ahead
But these can be exciting times
Energetic, full of beans
Don't rush to be an adult
Take your time, enjoy your teens
A very happy 13th birthday

Happy Birthday Old Buddy
Are you like me a bit?
I let my mind wander, it didn't come back...
But better over the hill...
...than under it.

(Apart fom it taking 4 hours
to painstakingly make

craftsperson...)
The only thing special about this card..
Is the person holding it
Happy Birthday

You've reached a famous milestone
As best as (I) can gauge

In bust, as well as age

At (50) you're now over the hill
And on the downward part
Your body is showing signs of wear
But you're still young at heart

For verses about habits or traits to include in a birthday tribute
for example:
Ok, so you fall asleep in the chair
Your snoring's not that bad (great)
As for the sound you make when you sing
It's very...similar, Dad (Mate)

Happy Birthday (Margaret)
You've reached the big (four)-0
You're getting old, so it's OK
If you start running slow
You can quit all that hoovering
You can stop being so keen
To tidy up and decorate
Polish, scrub and clean
Jon Bratton c 1998

Enjoy your birthday, Darling
Indeed, I'll see that you do
This comes with love (and a promise)
From your wife...and best friend too

Yesterday, you were (five)
Just a kid, a kitten, a pup
But today, you're (six) years old
You're soooo growed up
Jon Bratton c 2005

For your birthday, I'm sure that you'd like
A home cooked meal and a glass of wine
So I called your mother and she said Yes,
Next Wednesday, at her place, suits her fine.

Some people want presents ,
Some want a birthday bash.
But you? Same thing every year.
You just want cash
Happy Birthday
You're now a teen
…without the cash!
I'm sooo mean

You have been the light of my life
For 16 years
This special day for you

I love you

The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age. Lucille Ball
Few women admit their age. Few men act theirs.
The best years of a woman's life - the ten years between 39 and 40
Birthdays are good for you; the more you have the longer you live!
First you forget names; then you forget faces; then you forget to zip up your fly; and then you forget to unzip your fly.
Branch Rickey
Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. -- Groucho M
I'm at an age when my back goes out more than I do.- Phyllis Diller

Grandads give you lots of chocs
And let you stay up late,
Then they give you lots of pop
And sweeties by the crate.
They tell you brilliant stories of when
Mum & Dad were small
You then find out the real truth,
They weren't so good at all
They're Father Christmas all year round
They never ever bug you.
With massive hearts and open arms
Just waiting there to hug you

Now you've reached the big (five O)
Don't start to dye your hair
Don't think of having face lifts
And don't change the clothes you wear
Don't modify your language
Don't rebel and cause outrage
Decide to do the decent thing
Just lie about your age
