Birthday Poems
- Clever -

What are the best clever birthday poems for a card or eCard? The best are birthday poems that contain clever twists or turns of phrase (nothing too cryptic, of course). For some ideas, check out the clever birthday poem examples below:


HAPPY AND YOUNG AT HEART

By Kevin Nishmas


Birthday Poems - Clever Birthday Poem and eCard

You're happy and young at heart,
Your energy knows no bounds,
You make us all look ancient,
It's time to nap and slow down.

You're full of piss and vinegar,
All set to spring into action,
We all feel old next to you,
Stop or you'll end up in traction.

We are not really complaining,
We're just a bunch of old farts,
We secretly wish we were you,
You're happy and young at heart.








A FRIEND LIKE YOU

By Kevin Nishmas


Birthday Poems - Clever Birthday Poem and eCard

Happy birthday!

I have many friends,
But one above the rest,
That one is you,
You are simply the best.

It's a friend like you,
In good times and bad,
Who asks for nothing,
Yet offers a hand.

Wherever I go in life,
There's only one thing to do,
I must have a big heart,
And be a friend like you.








IF I KNEW YOU

By Nixon Waterman

This is a clever birthday poem because it brilliantly uses turns of phrase to show that we are all the same underneath, although we are unique individuals.

It's a beautiful birthday wish for someone special, perhaps your brother or sister who may not fully understand you...or vice versa.


Birthday Poems - Clever Birthday Poem and eCard

Happy birthday!

"If I knew you and you knew me,
If both of us could clearly see,
And with an inner sight divine,
The meaning of your heart and mine.

I'm sure that we would differ less,
And clasp our hands in friendliness.
Our thoughts would pleasantly agree,
If I knew you and you knew me."








WELCOME TO THE METAL AGE

By Kevin Nishmas


Birthday Poems - Clever Birthday Poem and eCard

Welcome to the metal age,
You have solid gold for teeth,
Brilliant silver for hair,
And steel joints underneath. 

Your body is always aching,
That is not a reason to pout,
Be glad you still have stamina,
To blow all your candles out.

Birthday Poems
- Funny -

What are the best funny birthday poems? Firstly, funny poems do not need to be "laugh out loud" hilarious. Funny birthday poems merely need to elicit a giggle or two.

Your ultimate goal is to make the birthday boy or girl happy. With this objective in mind, glance at the poems below for inspiration: 



IN MY DAY

By Kevin Nishmas


Birthday Poems - Funny Birthday Poem and eCard

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

When you start to see your youth fade,
And your looks have seen better days,
I'll be here to say you're sexy,
Even when your nose hair is gray.

You may not be over the hill,
But you say "in my day" too much,
When you're not clubbing at Costco,
You're napping right after brunch.

You may be older than you think,
But you still have lots more time,
Celebrate each and every day,
Just don't nod off before nine.








LONG IN THE TOOTH

By Kevin Nishmas


Birthday Poems - Funny Birthday Poem and eCard

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

You might say we're long in the tooth,
Eating chewy food is a nightmare,
We can't sink our teeth into a steak,
Because they will just stay there.  

Our aches and pains are worse,
We feel and look like hell,
BENGAY is now our BFF,
And the best cure for old man smell.

Sleeping through the night is tricky,
It's now our Achilles' heel,
Taking a nap anywhere helps,
Except when we're behind the wheel. 

We tend to forget names and faces,
Senior moments are now our friend,
We wish people wore name tags,
But we always forget to ask them.








MUSIC TO YOUR EARS

By Kevin Nishmas


Birthday Poems - Funny Birthday Poem and eCard

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

You know all the elevator tunes,
You hate what's on Billboard's charts,
You think today's music is pure trash,
You crave The Beatles like an old fart.

You don't know the names of bands,
Yet you still feel like a swinger,
Don't let folks call you a hippie,
Peace out and give them the finger.








THERE ARE WORSE THINGS 

By Kevin Nishmas


Birthday Poems - Funny Birthday Poem and eCard

So what if you're getting older,
There are worse things to be,
Like a goofy, pimply teenager,
With zero self-esteem.

So what if you got a few wrinkles,
There are worse things to have,
Like a case of the twentysomethings,
And a room at Mom and Dad's.

To me, you're simply wonderful.
Everything about you is just right,
So have a happy birthday,
And let's party all night.








LIFE'S AS GOOD AS GOLD

By Kevin Nishmas


Birthday Poems - Funny Birthday Poem and eCard

Happy birthday!

Wow, another birthday is here,
What can I really say?
You look pretty good,
Even with a touch of gray. 

Your eyes are still so blue,
You're still so kind and mellow,
Your smile is just as infectious,
Even though your teeth are yellow.

Yes, this birthday is grand,
Your life's as good as gold,
But you can't fool Mother Nature,
You are still getting old.

YOU CAN DO IT

By Kevin Nishmas


Birthday Poems - Inspirational Birthday Poem and eCard

I know you can do it,
If you would only try,
It's mind over matter,
There is no better high.

You must forget yourself,
And let go of what's dear,
You'll see beyond the noise,
You will conquer your fear.

If you're afraid to fail,
Know you are not alone,
Even the brave fight fear,
We all dread the unknown.

But you truly stand out,
The world needs what you bring,
When it's your turn to shine,
Reach out for the brass ring.

Climb the wall before you,
Build a bridge to cloud nine,
Unsteady ground you'll tread,
It will be worth your time.

You take me to kinder, higher ground,
Where brave souls and wild hearts are one.

You gladly give me your own glass,
Infused with love and filled to the top.

Hints & Tips

The more you learn about happy birthday poems — and how to write or choose them —  the better your choice will be for your loved ones celebrating their birthday today. With this goal in mind, take a quick look at the tips and hints below.


How do you write happy birthday poems?

Out of all the birthday messages you can send to a love one, happy birthday poems are the safest. Why? Two reasons.

First, happy birthday poems are safe because it's just about impossible to hurt somebody's feelings with this type of birthday message. How many people do you know who would get upset over a cheerful birthday poem — under normal circumstances? I don't know any. So happy birthday poems are virtually a sure bet. 

Secondly, happy birthday poems are safe because they are 100% frown proof. Packed with "feel good" birthday messages, these birthday verses can make anybody smile, even illicit a chuckle or two. I like to think of them as the McDonald's of birthday messages — deliciously heartfelt and simple.

The simple, heartwarming messages of happy birthday poems are what make them incredibly suitable for many types of birthday girls and boys, including friends, colleagues, clients, acquaintances and children. 

Plus, birthday poems are good for the soul, especially on somebody's birthday. In essence, poetry is therapeutic for the reader, the birthday boy or girl. So says writer, writing coach and editor KM Barkley in 8 Reasons Why Poetry Is Good for the Soul.

Happy birthday poems are even ideal for members of your immediate and extended family, whether or not you're close to them, but who expect to receive a birthday wish from you.

For these reasons, happy birthday poems are virtually a sure bet — virtually because there's a slim chance that you might not make the birthday girl or boy happy with this kind of birthday message. What type of person would dislike happy poems? 

  • Your boyfriend, girlfriend, wife or husband who should really receive a romantic poem for his or her birthday. For your significant other, a happy poem is the most impersonal birthday verse you can choose (since it does not express your deep feelings for the birthday boy or girl).
  • Friends and family who hate poetry of any kind or anything that rhymes.
  • Someone who is mourning over the death of a loved one (a happy poem may be considered an insensitive gesture in this case, unless you know for a fact that the birthday boy or girl would be delighted to receive one).

Once you've determined that happy birthday poems are the way to go, selecting the right one is easy. All you need to consider is the level of "happiness" you want in the poem you choose or write.

When you come right down to it, there are really just three levels of happiness:

  • Happy
  • Very happy
  • Crazy happy

I would avoid "crazy happy" because it may be too far-out for the birthday gal or guy. So you actually have only two choices: happy and very happy. How can you tell the difference? That's easy.

  • "Happy" is like a McDonald's hamburger or cheeseburger (delicious). 
  • "Very happy" is like a McDonald's Big Mac or Quarter Pounder (still delicious with a little something extra). 

Bottom line: Choose happy birthday poems that you know will bring a smile to the face of someone special.
