You used to be insatiable
You were always there on cue
Now the expression "all nighter" means
Not getting up for the loo
As for the fact you're thinning
That's hardly fair
You're not folically challenged
You've just outgrown your hair
Lots of folk have 40 winks
That's a natural response
You do that and read the paper
While watching telly, all at once
So it's OK for you to slow down
You're getting older, after all
It's time for you to invest in a pipe
Some slippers and a shawl
The clues that you're getting old
Are there (Bill) it's true
Your belt won't buckle any more
But your knees most certainly do
You've entered your 70th decade
But you look good all the same
Who cares if your hair is thin and grey
And you'll suit a Zimmer frame
We've been together since we were young
We're now getting old, and how
The fire is still within us
We just call it heartburn now
Now you've reached this old old age
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
Anyway you're not at all like a (50) year old
And I mean what I say
Mind you, being a (Jim Reeves) fan
Is a dead giveaway
Enough of all these insults
I do hope you realise
How highly you're respected
How kind you are, and wise
God bless you on your birthday
Let the celebrations start
Enjoy life's oh so precious gifts
And remain young at heart.
For age is just a state of mind
And life can be such fun
And you still know how to party
As much as anyone
So let's make this a memorable occasion
In every single way
And I'll be there to help you
Ensure it's a wonderful day
The love of friends and family
Will be with you today
So enjoy the many wishes
Which are bound to come your way
Let your(60th) Birthday
Be the best one of your life
...so far..
This comes with love from (Name)
Your best friend and wife
