A couple of short birthday ditties

Some of your friends will send serious cards
While others will opt for funny
Some may send a classy gift
And others decide on money
But poets like me send little verses
That may simply say
My very best wishes I send
For a wonderfully Happy Birthday!


I had the date marked on my calendar
Marked that date in red
But without my glasses
Couldn't read what it said!
Fortunately FB reminded me
(Just hope it was in time)
That today was the birthday
Of a friend of mine!
Happy Birthday!

When you hit 60

When you hit 60
Don't fret or worry
Even though 59
Was gone in a hurry!
Just smile and enjoy it
As you go about your day
If you aren't retired yet
It's not far away
It's a great perk of getting older
What more can I say!
Celebrate 60 and celebrate in style
'Cause 60 only lasts for a short while...
