This is another milestone birthday and one of the best things to include in a birthday message for a person who is about to turn 40 is a birthday limerick. You need to make it special by including a maverick that is about the birthday person. Think about the person and anything about them that is easy to rhyme about. Some names are very easy to rhyme especially if it is a simple one like Barry or Kate. Just think of things that rhyme with the name and come up with a poem that is interesting and funny.

If the name does not make it easy for you to rhyme, think of the relationship that you have with the person. This can be sister, father, son, friend, mother or daughter. Use the specific relationship you have to create a poem that has some rhyming words.

The person’s age can also be used to come up with some rhyming words but you should only use the age if the person does not mind.

The most essential thing to consider when writing a birthday message is relationship you have with the person celebrating the birthday and the memories that you have shared.
