“It stands to reason you’re 12 today
according to numerology anyway
five plus seven equals 12 you know
and 1 plus 2 is three,
and the younger you go.
Numbers don’t mean much
so give aging the one two punch.
Fight the notion
of downward motion
up and up you rise
as you become more wise”

“You’re more than half past a centenarian, congrats.
Now welcome to the club of crazy old bats.
We’ll do odd things as old people do,
take naps, pet cats, paint our homes blue.

My, my, my how time does fly
Happy 57th to the girl in the pink dress.
You’re always young at heart

“Only a person who’s a pill
will call you over the hill
coming down from the peak
is not at all bleak.
Its refreshing to have finished
the hard work of climbing
now time to relax
and spend time reclining
Happy 57th Birthday!”

“Don’t waste a minute of your life
except for naps, once or twice
a day, a morning an afternoon?
who’s counting anyway?
Relax, it’s your birthday
feel free to lay!”

“They say 50 is nifty
but 57? heaven!
who so, you ask?
at my age, no task
if only you know
just being you
you make the world a better place
your grace spares us disgrace
Happy Birthday, Love!”

“Your dog called me today. He barked 57 times, hung up the phone and went on his way., reminding me it was your birthday. He fetched you a cake, which unfortunately he ate. But wait, he’s got someone with him, he fetched you a date! He’s handsome and smart with lots of candy in his cart. They’re ringing the doorbell any minute, so don’t you even start! This is not a joke, it could happen to you. Life sends many unexpected things right out of the blue!”
