What a cute birthday poem, Debi! It's cleverly written and full on new information on John. It's so fun to learn more about a person's life written in such a fun way. Great rhythm and rhyme. It flows well.

Thanks for sharing his life with us.

Love and hugs,
Rhonda

This poem, Hanging Out with John, brings jmdg1954's life out into the light to be examined by the curious eyes of the Fanstorian membership and others. Happy Birthday to John.

great birthday tribute to a fellow fan story writer. I like the image of someone from New York state following football as he travels across the country

    Hi Sweet Angel...you owe me nothing...
    you have given me already more than
    you'll ever know...

    I was just replying to Sandra...she said
    her eyes are bad as well...she has a
    cataract in her left eye...and the
    right eye is straining from the left...
    trying to pick up the slack...

    I have a cataract in the right eye...and my left eye is picking up the slack...
    and I can't get surgery because of my
    allergies...my body wouldn't except the lens...of any kind...so I went to the doctor here in Florida yesterday...I told her what I had read on a home remedy
    that might help...she told me it wouldn't hurt to try it...maybe even help...another eye doctor told me every 20 to 30 minutes to stop reading...and blink my eye several times...I do use natural tears...but he said it will help my eyes to focus...

    your are in my prayers my beautiful friend...but give those eyes a break once in awhile...love you many...Linda xxoo ❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏🌼🌼🌼

    Oh Honey, the surgery for cataracts is as easy as going for a check to the doctor. I had both of them done this last summer. Piece of cake.

    It was nothing compared to being blind in one eye and blurred in the other. That is why I am on the $100, 000. Eye drop right now and then have to have the cornea transplant.
    If you went to the right dr I am sure they could do your surgery at the Mayo Clinic here. There isn't much they can't do there.
    I am praying for you!!!

    Hi Shining Star, the problem is Debi...
    I am allergic to everything that moves...
    my body won't except foreign objects...
    I'm lucky it excepts me... 🤦🏻‍♀️LOL...
    I am lucky the doctors I have understand my allergies...my primary
    doctor has seen me go through enough reactions...his been my doctor
    close to 20 years...

    Thank You for your prayers my beautiful friend...love xxoo

    I'm sorry, sweetheart. That breaks my heart to hear that. Gosh, I wish so bad that something could be done.

    I'm so somewhere along the way...

    I prayed a lot for you since you told me about your allergy's and why you can't have the cataracts. We have so much in common. No wonder God put you, Sally and me in the same friendship circle. God Bless you sweetheart. I will continue to pray for you.
    Love you, Sweetheart!!

The tone in this poem is celebratory or happy and devoted. I liked reading it. I hope John had a memorable birthday and got to cook as well, as that sounds like one of his talents.

This is so awesome. I like the football reference. I like the gourmet dish line. I guess I just like the whole poem. The image of the Grinch is priceless. Just good work.

A happy poem, written in a great rhyme scheme that is going to move your reader through quickly. John...my type of guy, likes drinking beer and watching baseball. Now that is all American!

-Great artwork and nice presentation, Debi.
-You did a great job with John's poem.
-Effective imagery and rhyme.
-When I type in the box, the screen turns pink.
-You have taken quite a bit of information and
made it very poetic, from John's family to
sports, pets, writing, and cooking.
-I like the verse about tickets to see
Billy Joel and changed the plan.
-A very good closing couplet.
Happy Birthday, John!!

    You are very welcome, Debi. It was the strangest thing. You might be able to market that technique😊
