1.
They say good things take time,
And you age like fine wine,
Say, do you sleep on silk
and bathe in honey and milk?
You sure do look well,
for someone who's old as hell.
2.
You've done quite well since your start,
So as you grow older take heart,
Keep up the good work and don't be a jerk,
Stay happy till you're an old fart.
3.
Age is just a number,
so don't you hang your head
far is your eternal slumber
but in dog years, you're dead.
4.
A candle burns for every year,
I can't believe that you're still here.
5.
You might be the oldest hag on earth,
knuckles crack, it's like a curse.
Remember, that it could be worse,
you could be lying in a hearse.
6.
Happiest of birthdays,
to the one that I hold dear,
I love you to the moon and back,
but prefer you to be near.
7.
To age with dignity is rare,
So I will handle you with care,
but if your symptoms are all fake,
I will steal your birthday cake.

How do I write a funny birthday greeting myself?
Want to get creative yourself? Then you have an advantage that all the people on the list above don't have: You know the birthday child!
Our tips:
- Think of a fun moment you've shared together and remind your recipient of it. After all, people don't just make plans for the future on their birthday, they also like to look back on the past.
- So how about referencing past birthdays? A cheeky remark about a wild night among friends will make everyone grin and get them looking forward to this year's celebration! They also make the hangover the next day more likely to be viewed with nostalgia.
- Insiders are always good for funny birthday wishes. After all, not everyone has to understand. Try making a poem out of all your insiders!
- It doesn't have to rhyme, but don't be afraid of it either. No one expects perfection. Rhyme away, because love is what makes the birthday wishes special.
- Edit a picture and write something on it! Funny quotes on pictures are always something people love to hang on their walls. Especially when it's a Happy Birthday card from a friend.
- Whatever you try, as long as you do it with love, it will be the most beautiful birthday wish of the day! And look at it this way: this year will probably not be the last year for you to create something truly special for your loved one's birthday.😉
