This was a grand birthday greeting for Karen. It has the charm of a self-effacing poet attempting the craft in order to laud the sparkling Karen with positive acknowledgments of age. Neat.

    Thank you so much, Bill, for taking time out to read my feeble attempt at poetry. I just didn't want to not take part in her contest since she never fails to read me. Much appreciated!

I just love the artwork, so true, whether it does stir a reaction or not, it is certainly hi lights the frailty of age, although I must admit I am terribly unaccepting of mine at the moment, I refuse to accept the wave of evidence, this is beautifully written my friend, a great entry, good luck, blessings Roy

    Thank you so much, Roy, it's always an honor to have a real poet stop by with kind words and a generous review. I just have to say that, whoever came up with the name "Golden Years" should be shot. LOL Much Appreciated!

    Thank you so much, Marilyn, for your generous review and kind words. Yes, you and I know her cravings for Jack in the Box tacos, but she has also made comments about being gassy in her writing. The picture. I spend a whole 15 or 20 minutes on this thing right after you telling me her birthday was in August. So, if anyone likes it, the things go to you. If they don't, it's your damn fault. LOL. I appreciate YOU!

    It's always been there. It's was a basis for the whole poem.

    The picture was more important than the feeble attempt at poetry. Don't get sassy with me girl. LOL.

    Don't we all. :-)
    Helen just told me that the poem form was supposed to be a Limerick. I didn't see it. Leave to me. LOL.

    I didn't say anything because i'm sure it's the thought that counts with Karen.

    I don't know why I wouldn't have noticed it. LOL. As we get older we lose all our faculties, even when don't think we are. :-)

This was such a nice birthday tribute! I liked all the fun rhymes. This person, I'm sure will get a kick out of reading it. One spelling error I caught, you said "cleaver" but you meant "clever". Well done!

    Thank you for taking time out to read my foolishness. I don't regularly write poetry, just didn't want to skip a friend's contest. Thanks for pointing out my mistake. I'm surprise there weren't more since I wrote this in about 15 minutes and posted it without editing. Much appreciated!
