This work has reached the exceptional level

Once again perfect rhyming also such a cute picture. I'm sure John will really love your poem and Piano Man by Billy Joel, one of my favorite songs. Songs with a story always appeal to me. 10.30 pm I'm off to bed Night Night Sleep Tight.

    Gaye, I got lost in the middle of three poems that had to be done almost at the same time so I came looking for you as I would never forget your sweet loving reviews. Thanks ever so much and know how much I appreciate you. In the new year I don''t plan on writing at much, and hopefully my eyes will heal when I have the surgery so I get my sight back, love you and thanks again, dear friend.

This is a really nice poem that tells us a lot about John. He sounds like someone I'd like to meet if he's a gourmet cook. I hope his five grandchildren are as great as my five great grandchildren. Happy birthday, John, and many many more. Just one little problem. There are five John's on the list. Which one is this?

    Ok, I should remind everyone again that you know where the description is under the title? You aren't the only one who always asks. I always add their pen-name in that box. Always!! So look there whenever I do a tribute poem.
    Thanks for the very sweet review, my awesome friend and for the fun comments. Love ya, Debi

Hello Debi,
thanks for sharing this birthday wish for John. I don't know much about him, but fortunately I know more because of this poem. I hope his birthday was special, and of course being remembered by one of his fans on FS is always special. Well done gal.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

    I hope you have a blessed evening too, Tom. I am starting from the ending here because I don't want to forget to tell you that. And thanks so much for these kind comments for John. It surprises me tho that you two don't know each other. You are both such fun loving guys so I assumed you had to be friends. Well maybe this will change that. So thanks again, my dear friend. And I appreciate your awesome review. LOL, how is that for a backwards thank you? Love, Debi

    Hi Debi,
    I really should review more folks, but I can barely keep up with the ones I do now. Some folks are in the habit of posting two or three times a day. I just don't have the time to review everything, especially right now. Maybe after the new year things will settle down a little.
reply by the author on 17-Dec-2024
    Oh gosh, Tom, I didn't mean that as a hint. I was just telling yyou that you are so much alike. Thanks for being so sweet.
reply by T B Botts on 17-Dec-2024
    No worries gal. I really should do better, but FS can take over all my time if I'm not careful.
    By the way, how are you feeling?
reply by the author on 17-Dec-2024
    That is part of the reason I can barely review. My allotted screen time just isn't enough, so thank you for making it when you do. That is why I do these poems and try to promote high so that I can pay you guys back somehow.

Always great to read your poetry. Jet's, not sure of that choice. Piano man is always a great way to soften the moist moments of a lose with your team. I'll pray for a win and Happy Birthday to John. I'll rejoice with the thought of a Yankee fan. My favorite player was the "iron man', if he knows baseball history, he'll know who am talking about. Have a blessed day and always great to read anything from you. Shadrach

    Dearest Shadrach, by any chance are you talking about Cal Ripken Jr of the Orioles? He was one heck of a player. In fact the reason I know about him is because I knew about him breaking Lou Gehrig's record. And I knew that because I had a very good friend who died of Lou Gehrigs' disease. So I looked it up a long time ago and that is when I learned more about Ripken.

    I love baseball too, but I am a bigger football fan.

    thanks so very much for the very kind review and lovely comments for John's poem. I know John will appreciate you talking baseball too, my dear friend.
    Thanks again. Love, Debi

    You hit the home run with Lou Gehrig. Cal Ripken Jr. was a great player as well. I'm a old school fan of the greats that led the path of those to follow

    Is gem the equivalent to Bless your heart-another words your a dumb ass. I know it's not, but I thought I'd ask. Ha, ha.
reply by the author on 16-Dec-2024
    No, when I say you are a gem, I mean it as a complete compliment. You have a PM waiting.

    Okay. I will look at it

As always, Debi,
You excel at this sort of poem.
Added to that I love Piano Man. This was one of the first songs I learned to sing properly back pre-COVID when I was helping run Open Mics around my local area.

    Awe, thanks so very much, Tim, for the very kind review and lovely comments for John's poem. I know John will appreciate them too, my dear friend. I love Billie Joel so much I have seen him four times in concert. I live in central MN and yet I drove to Ames. Iowa to see him and Elton John together. But then I might fly to the moon to see it again. Hahaha.
    Thanks again. Love, Debi
