Happy Birthday to John! I really enjoyed your poem, Debi, because we all know how our poet/chef lives to "Rhyme and Dine" us...and he is beloved for his great humor and heart!

***Extra points to you for rhyming "possible" and "football!"

He's a great guy...

Too bad he's a Yankee fan (said the woman from Massachusetts)

Go Red Sox!

:)

    Awe, K, I love your review about giving me points for a rhyme that should have asked a poetic license for. Haha.
    Even tho they sounded better when they weren't alone without my other words. Hahahaha,

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

Thanks so much for celebrating our fantastic chef and writer and accountant John! We learn so much from him! And I'm glad you shared about his family. Wouldn't it be great if we could visit him in person?

Hey Debi, I love how you celebrated John. you were also able to celebrate his family, his city, and even his dogs. L.O.L. One of the things that I've noticed throughout the series that you have running here. You have been able to celebrate nearly everybody and the people and things they hold near and dear. What an incredible kindness that is for each of the recipients of your poems. This is also a character trait not often found in our fellow humans. Thanks for doing that for us sis.

Thank you so much for sharing this birthday tribute to John! I didn't know it was his big day, so Happy Birthday, dear John! A lovely verse which skilfully reflects my impression of a very happy, sporty and immensely capable guy with a heart of gold and a gift for being the best host around. Well done, Debi! Love Debbie xx

    Debbie, please forgive me for being so late as I am over 100 behind now. I don't think I will write as much in the new year. I might rest more and try to get a book done. And even review more. By the way, I am sending your card today. Let me know when it get's there. Curious how long it will take take. Thanks for the great review and comments. Love, Debi

Happy birthday to John, I thought you did a brilliant job of giving us a clear view of who he is in this piece, Debi and he certainly sounds like an interesting person. A well written piece, I enjoyed reading it.

Happy Birthday, John! I hope this is the best birthday ever. But it doesn't look like your Jets are going to do anything to make it anymore enjoyable. :-) Thanks for sharing, Debi!

This was fun to read. I enjoyed it and I am sure that John did too. It's clean fun. It's quirky. Thanks for sharing. I hope that someday you'll be able to afford those Billy Joel concert tickets.

    Awe, Trina, thanks so very much for the very kind review and lovely comments for John's poem. Good thing John and I both have been to other Billy Joel concerts. They never cost a grand before though. OUCH!
    Yeah, you heard me right. LOL..

    I know John will appreciate them too, my dear friend.
    Thanks again. Love, Debi
