A teacher forever: "But here he helps so many, like a teacher still on call" This is a nice birthday tribute for Paul McFarland. This is nice because more people will wish him a happy birthday.

A sweet Merry-Go-Rhyme poem for Paul's birthday. I don't think I've met him, so I will have to check his FS portfolio. It's nice of you to remember his special day. Thanks for the rules of this poetic form. I'm behind in reviewing, so I'll wish Paul a happy belated b-day. Carol

You continue to share with us that artistic talent of taking people, facts, dates, and events and turn them into a beautiful story that rhymes. If you're not careful sis, you'll have people claiming multiple birthdays per year with the expressed purpose of having you memorialize them in a way that only you can. God bless, embrace the love from above.

    Spoken like a real brother. Lol... You are such a gem and I do appreciate you so much that if we weren't triplets, I'd be wishing I could write you a birthday poem. So looks to me like I will have to find another reason one of these days. We just need to find a time when we are not so busy when we can catch up a little and talk about old times...... and lol, maybe a few new ones too. Thanks again dear bro for your kindness always.

    L.O.L. You are most welcome sis. These days I come here so very very little and it is in and out. I'm still trying to learn how to earn some money writing, so pray for me. God bless sis.

    Mom would be so happy the three of us found each other, wouldn't she? I can just see her right now with the joy on her face! L. O. L.

    Shoot, my mom, probably set it up with our mutual father?

You have written another great birthday poem for a well deserving writer and poet. I always enjoy reading his posts, and appreciate his reviews of mine. Thank you for your caring concern for our writing family.

    Hi Lorraine. If you have already given me your birthdate please forgive me for asking again. It's just that I looked and I can't find it. I truly would like to know, as you and a few others have been so good to me with your wonderful reviews and friendship. I thank you for this one and all, as you just are so special. Thank you for that.

    Hi Dear Debi. Sorry it sometimes takes me a while to respond. No, you never asked for my birthday. It is in the middle of summer, July 13, and sometimes falls on Friday the 13th.

    In my portfolio, there is a story called "Lies We Tell Children," where I tell my young daughter why Friday the 13th will never be bad luck for me or her. Thanks for asking.
    Blessings, Lorraine

    On Lorraine, first of all thank you for the date and I loved the story too!

For some reason, I feel like I've already responded to this one, Debi, but it's not here, so I guess not.
It is such a nice poem and I'm sure that he really appreciated it.
Congrats on All Time Best and for being recognized.
Katharine

Well, this certainly fills the criteria of being a fun poem and having a 'feeling of swing in the rhyme'! I really enjoyed it and its humour! The inspiration behind it and the playful way in which the subject is approached shows why Debi is such an accomplished poet!
Thank you for brightening my day! Guðbjörg

This is a very nice birthday poem and it rhymes very well. I hope Paul has a happy birthday, too. Congratulations on getting published, Paul! I can't recall if I've seen his name, I'm still getting familiar. He looks like a nice man and I'm sure he'll love this poem that you wrote. Very nice! :))
