Another typical Debi poem. You must have a rolodex full of names, address, and birth dates. Oh oh, that's right, no more rolodexes. Computers are here to stay.

    Thank you for the very kind words my dear friend. Writing poems for others is such a rewarding kind of endeavor. That's what Merry~go~ Rhymes are all about. I know Mike will enjoy reading all the kind wishes. Thanks again Paul!

Your merry go round style seemed just made for
these wonderful birthday greetings/tributes, Debi.
I enjoyed reading this one and learned much about
Papa Mike. Your words painted a great picture of him
both as an awesome writer and individual. I knew very
little about him, but now I can't say that any more. I didn't
know about his family. Thank goodness he was there to
support his beloved wife through her health issues. I know
he will treasure your poem.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

I'm glad to read a birthday wish for Papa Mike. I've enjoyed reading his Christian themed, inspirational stories. You have once again skillfully crafted a poem celebrating people you hold dear, using your fun, poetic creation, the Merry-go-Rhyme. I'm sure everyone appreciates the thought you put into their special birthday wish.

Papa Mike is definitely a great reviewer and Fanstorian. He is so kind with his reviews. I marvel at how he loves his Lord, too. He makes our day a blessing when he writes.

Love Papa Mike and your poem is a wonderful birthday tribute that captures how well loved he is. I wasn't aware he is a retired English teacher but I am not surprised.. You have a smooth flow of words and lines that create warm feelings and birthday wishes. April and May are big birthday months.

    Thank you for the very kind words my dear friend. I appreciate more than you can imagine, your gift of six stars too Sweetie! Writing poems for others is such a rewarding kind of endeavor. That's what Merry~go~ Rhymes are all about.

    Tomorrow I am posting one called the Birth of the Merry~go~Rhyme. It tells how it started when Sally did a Circus poem for me, and then I wrote some that were fun and not bad, but not my style. I really want you to read one for your girls too, it is called Spectacular Owl. I will send you a link. I think you will all enjoy it, and it is my version of Sally's Circus poems and why I ventured out on my own. No need to review. But tomorrow Sally is going to also repost her first Circus poem at the same time that I do mine. Then you will understand. Lol, I am sure none of that made any sense but you will get it tomorrow.
    Thanks again Jess.
