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!
Comment from Dawn Munro
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. :)

Comment from Pearl Edwards
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

Comment from T B Botts
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!

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

Thank you so much, Dolly, for your generous review and kind words. On my few attempts at poetry, I'm always honored when the real poets take time to read, review and say something encouraging.
Much appreciated!
Comment from Heather Knight
It was your comment about sneezing that made me read your poem.
I'm not sure I know who Karen is. Does she use that name here?
Anyway, even if you don't want to be a poet, this was great fun to read.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much, Heather, for your generous review and kind words. And of course, for taking time out of your busy day for my foolishness. Karen goes by "Karen Cherry Threadgill." Like me, you might not like everything she writes about, but sometimes, she'll get you so tickled your belly hurts. Much appreciated!

Love this lighthearted poem which I'm sure will delight the birthday girl. You did an excellent job, Ric. And see, it wasn't so hard to join us gaggle of poets was it?
Blessings, Julia
