birthday verse

Annual greeting rhyme

Birthday verse is a short poem or rhyming message written for someone's birthday, typically sentimental or humorous.

The term often refers to the preprinted verses inside greeting cards: The birthday verse was so generic it could have been for anyone.

Writing original birthday verse ranges from heartfelt tribute to deliberately awful doggerel.
