Here Be 70th Birthday Greetings in Limerick Form

brings you some 70th Birthday greetings and suggests that if you've still got it, flaunt it!

We are celebrating the 70th Birthday here at the pub! Kathleen the bar maid is pleased to roll out the barrel on this long-awaited birthday set and the years that follow it.

The inventory was slow in coming because the extra syllable in the word "seventy" (compared to twenty, thirty, forty, etcetera) caused a certain ennui in our public house bard. She has gotten over it at long last. Please feel free to turn seventy-whatever at this juncture.

Limericks for the 70th Birthday
through the 79th

Seventy

On this day you have earned "seven-O"
So the rest of us wanted to know
For a person so set
On goals not as yet
Arrived at, now where do you go?

Seventy-one

On the day you turn seventy-one
It's time to switch gears and have fun
For the journey that counts
Is the one that amounts
To the NEW satisfactions to come.

Seventy-two

Today you turn seventy-two
Happy Birthday to you, it's your due
And let's sing "Auld Lang Syne"
To remember the prime
Of your youth and the times that you knew.

Seventy-three

Add seven and three you get ten
And ten times the laughs you get when
We meet at the pub
Hoist a pint, eat some grub
And celebrate all you are then.

Seventy-three with a Friend (alternative)

Add seven and three you get ten
And ten times the laughs you get when
We meet at the pub
Hoist a pint, eat some grub
And celebrate you, our dear friend.

Note: this works if you are the sort of person who does not emphasize the final "d" in the word "friend."

Seventy-four

No doubt you've heard this one before
Just be glad you are seventy-four
And don't even give
The alternative
The chance to get in through the door.

We invite you to come Back in the kitchen at Molly's Virtual Pub. Don't you need at least one fun newsletter? :) The form is on the far left above. And then visit our Home Page at Here Be Limerick Poems for another round.
