Happy Birthday Michael!

Birthday at Fifty (50)
By Sue Taylor
(from http://www.funnyjunksite.com)

Today I turned fifty. I feel really good.
My body's still working quite well thanks. (Touch wood!)
My hair's not too grey, my wrinkles are few,
I can still touch my toes with my knuckles. (Can you?)
I'm quite full of vigour, just getting ripe.
(But they now print the phone book in much smaller type.)
My hearing's still good. What's that you say?
Speak clearly, don't mumble, your voice wafts away.
Inside this old body I'm still young, but then
If life starts at forty, I'm really just ten.

50th Truth

Thinning hair,
Cannot be fair.
Bags under eyes,
Make you wise.

Extra pounds,
Join the clowns.
Varicose veins,
Feel like chains.

At 50 years,
Dismiss your fears.
Just like wine,
Complex and fine.

Age and Laughter

Happy birthday, you're not getting old,
Stay in the game, it's not time to fold.
Wrinkles and grey hair, are just a new look,
Countless experiences, you should write in a book.

A birthday is seldom, a serious occasion,
Try not to take it, like the d-day invasion.
Laughter and jokes are within sight,
Stock up on both, all through the night.

Young at Heart

Happy birthday young at heart,
So many decades, where to start?
With energy, like that pink bunny,
You make us look lazy, that's not funny!

Never-ending old school ways,
Filled with stories, to Amaze!
Listening has been lost with age,
You belong on theatre stage. ;D

If you manage to forget,
We'll remind you, don't you fret.
Happy birthday young at heart,
Smile with joy, you old fart.
