Oh I loved the Bohemian Catsong... where or how in the world did you find that tune? Only you could...

I'm positive Izacwill both enjoy and love your birthday merry-go-round, well except for maybe that bus load of cats headed her way...

Thanks for sharing,loved it!

    Oh John, I did it again. First of all, let me start by telling you how sorry I am this is so late. Thank you for the six stars, dear understanding brother!
    So much going on at one time. I can't thank you enough for the lovely review and kind words for Iza and her poem. I know it will mean a lot to her as well.
    Love, Deb

This is a way beyond brilliant. A truly fantastic parody on a great 1970's Queen song. It sounds every bit as good as the original version. I can't get the smile off my face. Was this ever recorded professionally? To me, it certainly sounds good enough. Very good and very professional. As poetry, it is also full of merit. Most enjoyable.

    Hi Barry, please forgive me for the lateness of this reply. I read every review when it first comes in as they are the highlight of my day.

    But then my birthday came, and between all the poems, tutoring my grandson in college English and trying to keep up here while still blind in that one eye has become a lot.

    Please know how much this wonderful review, your dear comments and this mean to me, my awesome friend.
    Love, Debi

What a fabulous post for our dear Iza Deleanu! And she has a blog now, too. Thanks for celebrating her. She has a poetic soul and lots of good humor to deal cheerfully with trials.

Haha. Yes. I guess it's not hard to find another cat lady writer here at Fanstory. The cat photo is amazing but I can't say it's real. Where do you find so many cats? I like the Merry-go-rhyme poetic form. I should try to write one soon.

Well done.

Hi Debi!

More birthdays! And plenty of cats! I love the idea you have of this "merry-go-rhyme." You have some of the most amazingly fun ideas!

Okay, so Iza and I have a lot in common from what I have read. I am 50, she is 49. She's a writer, I'm a writer. She has cats, I used to have cats. BUT, most importantly of all, we are both single and want to stay that way! (You thought I was going in a different direction there, didn't you! *grins*)

I love how you use the two-line stanzas for her cats. I also loved all the "cat" puns you used throughout. I should have pulled them out while I read, but no, let me go back and find them (it's like an Easter egg hunt!).
---"had to [paws] her poem"
---"thinks [purrhaps] it could"
---"the most [purrfect] trip but she"
---"looking good and [feline] fine"
Awesome, Debi! I LOVE puns and all word-play. The more the better!

Talk to you again soon! I am sure another member birthday is right around the corner! ((Have you been jotting down all the words that rhyme with Patrick? *giggles*))

Patrick

It's evident you put a lit of thought into this birthday tribute... as always. This was a lot of fun to read, Debi.

USA should be delighted! I have a faint recollection of 49...(LOL)

ALMOST TIME FOR YOU, BIRTHDAY GIRL!

SHHH. (I won't tell a soul you're turning 70 on the 19th!)

Ooops!

You know lots of people here on FS! What is Iza's handle here if I may ask?
I found your poem incredibly funny with the purrfect, the paws...
Thanks so much for caring about everybody and for making me smile once again.

    Hey sweetie, I get to see you three times tonight. Wow. Iza is just called her name Iza Delaneau. I always put their pen name in the introduction part by the title. Yup she just uses her name.
    I do appreciated you so very much and all your kind comments, and the lovely stars too. Thanks so very much, my sweet friend. Love, Debi

I am impressed at how you come up with these birthday poems and it is obvious that you put a lot of time and effort into these excellent poetic tributes. The media complements your poem.

I have no idea how anyone posed so many cats, maybe it's AI. I assume Iza isn't the owner of that many cats. I also hope her birthday is great and she should really enjoy it because she can still think of herself as young.
