Here Be 70th Birthday Greetings in Limerick Form

Here at the pub, Kathleen is pleased to roll out the barrel on the long-awaited 70th birthday 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.



70th Birthday? You say you're not retired yet?!

Seventy-six to Timbucktu

At seventy-six you could do
All the travel put off for when you
Had the freedom, the time
The grown children, the dime
To get out there and find Timbucktu.

Seventy-six Pack Your Bags (alternative)

At seventy-six you could do
All the travel put off for when you
Had the freedom, the time
The grown children, the dime.
Pack your bags, bid the kids adieu.

Seventy-seven

You're seventy-seven today?
Wow, that's great! So then, what do you say?
Let's go cut a rug
Come on, give me a hug
Let us celebrate life while we may.


Seventy-eight and Ambulating

Today you are seventy-eight?
An achievement, no doubt you think straight.
We are certain the smile
That is always your style
Is the reason you yet ambulate.

Seventy-eight and Percolating (alternative)

Today you are seventy-eight?
An achievement, no doubt you think straight.
Seek the day's rising tide
Take the bad things in stride
And your "groove thing" will still percolate.

As promised, with the addition of the 70th birthday page, Kathleen is coming closer and closer to that Holy Grail of a limerick for every year between 0 to 100. Here Be Limerick Poems is your source for the most inclusive birthday greetings for every unique age on the Web.
