Really liked that one Ric. I always miss good works when I am busy playing so randomly check through old stuff of people I like. Quick question: is Karen one of the people on this site? I don't have her on my fan list and am not familiar. Esther

Thank you, Esther, for your kind words and generous review. I don't do poetry, but this is one of those rare cases that when asked, I could possibly say no. Much appreciated!

Glad to see you back, Iza! As you know, I don't do poetry, but sometimes we just have to get outside our comfort zones when it comes to birthday wishes. I can't thank you enough for your extra special six star review!

Thank you so much, Madeleine, for taking time out to read my foolishness. I don't write poetry or know the first thing about it, but every now and then I have to dip my toes in the water. Thank you again for your kindness and encouragement. Much apprecaited!

I liked reading this post. It sounds like Karen probably appreciated this very much. The only suggestion I had was to change the spelling of 'tarter' to 'tartar.'

Thank you so much, Crystie, for taking time out to read my foolishness and offering your suggestion for my careless blunder. Please don't consider this an example of my writing. LOL. I don't write poetry. Much appreciated!

Oh good heavens, man -- I do not know what to do with this! (Hahahaha!) But one thing I do know, this poem is NOT about to "make the birthday girl swoon"!!!
What a fun tribute to your friend, and honestly? I bet she'll love it. I know MY face is hurting from smiling so much. :)

I must admit that cartoon pic got me in to read your happy birthday poem to karen, plus a limerick as well. Two for one deal and for a non poet you kept me amused.
Well done.
Cheers

Hello Ric,
It's good to see you on here again. I know you've been really busy. I didn't realize which Karen you were talking about at first until I read it was Karen Cherry Threadgill. She's an interesting gal. No one can accuse her of not speaking her mind. What day in August is her birthday? How did you find out about it? I'll have to remember to send her a card if I can get her address. Thanks for sharing this buddy. Have a blessed day.
Tom

Thank you so much, Tom, for your generous review and kind words. Yes, I've been gone about five weeks and man I'm glad to be home. I tried to drop in a read a couple times, but I finally got so far behind that I had to just dump and start from scratch. I sure missed all the stories. Karen actually set up her own contest. So, just look in the contests and write a Limerick. I didn't realize it was suppose to be a Limerick and added the Limerick later. LOL. I guess I'll call it a senior moment. God bless, my friend! Much appreciated!

This is a nicely written birthday wish for Karen and I wish you the very best with all of your writing. You may not be a part but you have done a wonderful job with this particular birthday letter to Karen. Have a wonderful day and may God bless you. Patricia.

Well, you proved it my friend. You are not a poet, but your feet are........................................... they're Longfellow's with a big heart.
