Here Be 70th Birthday Greetings in Limerick Form
If you've still got it, flaunt it!
Celebrating the 70th Birthday here at the pub! Kathleen is pleased to roll out the barrel on this long-awaited 70th 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-oh 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. Seventy-five Seventy-five is the year That's a watershed, put it in gear Get your butt to the gym. Fix your attitude. Trim Your waistline. There are no wimps here.
