Wow. Great birthday poem for Karen. I think she will get a kick out of it when she has the opportunity to read it.

Great post for the birthday girl. I don't do poetry either so good luck on the voting...

    Hey, John, thank you so much for taking time out to read my feeble effort at poetry. I just couldn't not enter her contest. I never expected many to read it, and could care less about the voting. I just hope it brings a smile to Karen's face that I cared enough to try. Much appreciated!

I think this great. Firstly the image is hilarious and so true ha. What a wonderful tribute poem for your friends birthday isn't she lucky to have a friend like you.
Your opening line is interesting, you're a lovely poet. I find myself saying that too, with the calibre of writing I see on here verses what I produce lol. Sounds like she had a hard time health wise I'm glad she good again! Best wishes to you and Happy Birthday to Karen for August

    Thank you so much, Nicki B, for your generous review and kind words. I'm glad you liked the image, the best part of the post. LOL. I don't often get to read a lot of people other than my regulars, but whenever I get such a nice and sweet review, I'll be looking to for your posts. Much appreciate!

I'm sure she will love it! Great work.
Who says you're not a poet?
You might want to jump in and change cleaver (butcher's ax) to clever (witty) - smiley face here
Enter this thing in a contest!

Thank you so much. You did good. It is time toilet your goofy side out. I am flush with excitement. I don't give a crap what anyone else thinks. That was my potty humor/ Thanks again. Karen

    I'm sure there will be people who don't like my potty word, and notice I didn't use but one. But with your sense of humor I had to use something a little off color. Or is that line even a little worse? Happy Birthday in advance!

    Thank you so much, Barbara, for your generous words and kind words. I don't care about the contest as I'm sure you already know. Just that I put an entry in her contest. Karen is a sharp and witty gal, and gets a little risky at times. LOL. Therefore, I had to step out on a limb with that ending word. After being gone for over a month, I'm glad to be back and very anxious to start regularly reading your posts again. Much appreciated!

A very nice poem indeed. I didn't realize you even would try poetry. That is very nice of you, Ric. I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
Now, I don't have to worry about you trying to take over the biographical poems, do I? LOL....
Great job and I told you I was going to watch for when you got back to it, so it is good to see you writing again. Love, Debi

    Thank you so much, Debi, for your generous review and kind words. It's been a long five weeks of constant travel, and I can't hardly wait to get back to reading and reviewing regularly. I wrote this poem in about 15 minutes, and I'm sure it sounds like it. It was for the contest, just to let Karen know I cared enough to try. Much appreciate!

    I am not begging for a review, but I write prose so rarely and I have one that is about to expire that is worth $1.08 right now. It is called Anniversary of a Nightmare. I think you would enjoy it. But for sure not asking for a review, as I have plenty, but I know you weren't here to get the notification.

    I would never want to miss your prose.

This was a grand birthday greeting for Karen. It has the charm of a self-effacing poet attempting the craft in order to laud the sparkling Karen with positive acknowledgments of age. Neat.

    Thank you so much, Bill, for taking time out to read my feeble attempt at poetry. I just didn't want to not take part in her contest since she never fails to read me. Much appreciated!

I just love the artwork, so true, whether it does stir a reaction or not, it is certainly hi lights the frailty of age, although I must admit I am terribly unaccepting of mine at the moment, I refuse to accept the wave of evidence, this is beautifully written my friend, a great entry, good luck, blessings Roy

    Thank you so much, Roy, it's always an honor to have a real poet stop by with kind words and a generous review. I just have to say that, whoever came up with the name "Golden Years" should be shot. LOL Much Appreciated!

    Thank you so much, Marilyn, for your generous review and kind words. Yes, you and I know her cravings for Jack in the Box tacos, but she has also made comments about being gassy in her writing. The picture. I spend a whole 15 or 20 minutes on this thing right after you telling me her birthday was in August. So, if anyone likes it, the things go to you. If they don't, it's your damn fault. LOL. I appreciate YOU!
reply by Marilyn Hamilton on 18-Jul-2024
    OMG! LOL was that there before or did you just add it? It's perfection! lol I don't mind being blamed, she doesn't scare me...unless i'm stuck in a closed room with her while she is sneezing lol
reply by the author on 18-Jul-2024
    It's always been there. It's was a basis for the whole poem.
reply by Marilyn Hamilton on 18-Jul-2024
    oh lol well i overlooked it somehow and still liked the poem. i can be slow. get over it.
reply by the author on 18-Jul-2024
    The picture was more important than the feeble attempt at poetry. Don't get sassy with me girl. LOL.
reply by Marilyn Hamilton on 18-Jul-2024
    you have your prioroties. i have mine.

    Don't we all. :-)
    Helen just told me that the poem form was supposed to be a Limerick. I didn't see it. Leave to me. LOL.
reply by Marilyn Hamilton on 18-Jul-2024
    I didn't say anything because i'm sure it's the thought that counts with Karen.
reply by the author on 18-Jul-2024
    I don't know why I wouldn't have noticed it. LOL. As we get older we lose all our faculties, even when don't think we are. :-)

    it's probably for the best if i stop commenting at this point before i get myself in trouble. lol

This was such a nice birthday tribute! I liked all the fun rhymes. This person, I'm sure will get a kick out of reading it. One spelling error I caught, you said "cleaver" but you meant "clever". Well done!

    Thank you for taking time out to read my foolishness. I don't regularly write poetry, just didn't want to skip a friend's contest. Thanks for pointing out my mistake. I'm surprise there weren't more since I wrote this in about 15 minutes and posted it without editing. Much appreciated!
