50th Birthday poem writing tips

50th birthday poems are special because the 50th birthday is a special milestone and represents the passing of a 'getting old' threshold. 50th birthday poetry verses are often longer, more personalized and may even take the form of a speech/eulogy or scroll

The words fifty and fiftieth are not good for rhyming poetry but when used as "the big "five-O", the rhyming possibilities greatly increase. The -oe- sound has lots of simple rhyming words/expressions like ago, get-up-and-go, from-top-to-toe, show, slow and so on

Congratulations, Billy
You've reached the big "Five-O"
You were born in the last millennium
So that's a long, long time ago

While on numbers, it is useful to use, for example, 49 for anyone over 50:-

Happy Birthday (Billy)
And my, don't you look fine
Given your advancing years
Fast approaching 49

Or

You've outgrown my lap, but not my heart
O (Maureen) daughter of mine
Growing up's for trees, so why not stay
Forever 49

Or use the same approach for, not just the recipient's age but the sender's, as well:-

You're (30) already, (son)
Nearly over the hill, oh my
And as you face advancing years
Unfortunately, so do I

So let's make a deal together
We'll use the same party line
You're a smidgin' over 21 (You're a little under 21)
I'm not quite 49

And bringing Granny into the ruse

I heard about your mother's deal
I'll go along with it, that's fine
Now, raise your arm and swear this oath
"My Grandma's 59"
