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

I heard about your mother's deal
