Comment from bob cullen
This is so good. Your rhyming is sensational and your choice of accompanying songs almost as good. Have you ever disclosed your birthdate so that we less talented poets could pen a tribute for you. I think that would make a great contest. What would rhyme with Marquette. Would you care to put that to the test?

Awe, Bob, you are so sweet. Well it's on my profile so I might as well just tell you that it is October 19th. But I might be a little scared after I read your fart poem, LOL Thanks so much for the kindest comments and the songs are always ones the birthday person picks. I also thank you for your six stars.
Thanks again, my awesome friend. Love, Debi

So that only give me four days. Some questions. How many kids? Do you have any hobbies? Your job? Hubby's and kid's name? Name of town or suburb where you live? Please make it easy. Your state? Hobbies etc. And anything else that might make for an easy rhyme. Remember, I'm male, so don't make it too hard. Lastly, what sort of car do you drive? Thanks.

Happy no-birthday, Kimbob!
You're not getting older...you're just getting better! :-)
Great tribute Debi. And I love how you drag it out of even the very reluctant! (As if he ever stood a chance...)
Thanks for sharing,
Julie

Hi Julie, you are too young to remember Jack Benny, aren't you?
I just thought about him this afternoon.
He always used to say he was 39 and that is where he stayed. So where I wrote in the poem that 36 times Kimbob was 39, I changed the next line to say, "Jack Benny never got as many years from that old line." LOL.
Thanks for all your very kind words for Kimbob and his poem. I sure appreciate it.
Love ya, Debi

Ive heard the name but he's definitely before my time. It's funny, for years I said I was 29. When my oldest turned 29, she said "Mom, you gotta stop!" :-)

Haha, my advice to you is don't blink. It goes way too fast.

Oh my Iza, did you get any of my PMs? I tried to get a hold of you a bunch of times in early Sept so I didn't forget you and was going to ask when I saw you were back. So YES, I would be delighted to do a 49th for you. Please send me a little info and some song choices by either my email, debipm@icloud.com or PM. It is so good to have you back. I will do it yet this week. Ok? After I get your info then it will be within two days. Thanks Sweetie and for the six stars for Kimbob's poem. You are a gem.
Love, Debi

Hahaha. Are you going to be around if I have any questions? It will be yet this week for sure. Nobody will even know that it is not your birthday. And besides it is just a few weeks. I do those all the time.

Comment from Michele Harber
This is adorable, Debi, and told with so much obvious joy and affection. Your rhymes work beautifully, and your natural sense of humor shines through in so many places. While there are a few times where the rhythm is a tiny bit off, reading it still brought a huge smile to my face. I'm sure he'll appreciate this lovely non-birthday poem.

Yeah, writing these are a lot different with so much info to get in the right places and make sense. It is not like my other poems where I can make it up as I go. The biographical is a lot harder to keep it smooth but I do try so your sweet words mean a lot to me.
And thanks for all your wishes for Kimbob.
Love, Debi

PS. I never got to get to your story today. I read most of it last night but I haven't had a chance to review yet. I will also be in touch to see how Wayne is doing.
