Happy 39th Again, Kimbob
A No-Birthday for Father Flaps37 total reviews
Comment from dragonpoet
Hi Debi,
I think a lot of people agree with Kimbob about not celebrating their birthday. Some stay at 29 instead of 39. I do wish him a Happy 39th (again) Birthday.
I don't mind celebrating mine. I just say I'll start worrying about not celebrating once people start saying I look my age or older.

Er, can I have a happy 39th too? A no Happy Birthday for Kimbob? You're a meanie. Every Birthday has its fun times and even you Mrs. Deb can be 21 again. So, from Australia, Kimbob mate...kick yer' heels up and enjoy many more birthdays to come. A big hug from me. K xx

I hope he has a great birthday. I haven't come across his work before so I'll have to check it out, I love how you always introduce me to new writers on this site, Debi. I really enjoyed reading it.

Nicely done. This is your niche. Your first best thing. You write other stuff well too. But this is where you shine the most. Some folks wait all year for a poem form you. And, lets not forget the prayers and blessings you write. Good work. Karen

Thank you, Sweetie, for such kind comments. It is so appreciated.
Kimbob will also be thankful. You are a sweetheart. Hugs. And thanks again.
Love, Debi

Hey Debi! Long time no see!
I don't think I know our No-Birthday Birthday boy ... well, I didn't until I read your poem! So, not only do you write birthday poems, you write birthday poems for people who insist they don't want birthday poems. That's not only generous ... it shows your dilligence and persistence! *laughs*
---"He says that 36 times now he has been 39/Jack Benny never got as many years from that old line." --This is a very clever line! I'm assuming that this is like when my ex-wife refused to turn 30 for six years and just lived in a perpetual state of 29ish.
---"I'm proud to say this man is loved by everyone he knows/And with his lovely wife, Judy, they'll snuggle when it snows" --Awwww, this is so sweet! And this couplet also has a very pleasant and bouncy iambic rhythm!
Birthdays here, No-Birthdays there. How do you keep up? Do you ever stop and take a deep breath when there aren't any birthdays to set to poem? Well, rest up. It's just a couple days over 5 months until March 17th! *big grin*

LOL, No, Patrick, this was all meant to be funny. He jokingly said maybe a verse, but I know him so well that he just meant this to be funny.
I never, ever do a poem for anyone unless they want it. And usually I let those who had one already come to me, but Kimbob is so darn much fun to write for that you will love his writing too. He is very good around Halloween.
So as much as I will only write for those who want it, I still like to joke around and make myself look a little guilty. After all, you can't blame a girl for trying.
Now not many know this and last year it got out of hand. But on Saturday it is my 70th birthday. So you will see a few poems flying for me too, but I am a little shy about it. Last year there were 23 altogether. It got a little much for all the poor people reviewing. Oh another Debi poem. How exciting. LOL..
but I did appreciate them very much.
Thanks Patrick for this fun review. And I believe me, I will never forget you. In fact I already have the beginning started. You will be another fun one to write for. Thanks again, my awesome friend. Love, Debi

Hi Debi, this is such a fun and uplifting birthday poem to Father Flapps.
I like that he has walked 308 miles in the last seven month. Of note:
I'm proud to say this man is loved by everyone he knows
(I'm sure his wife is bursting with pride.)
Great YouTube picks. There's nothing left to say except
Happy Birthday, Father Flaps, may all your wishes come true.
It's now time to blow out the candles.
Best Wishes, Margaret ~ LateBloomer
Well done, Debi. Xo. M

Hahaha, you silly girl. You would have to tease me about that.
Seriously, thanks for the kind comments, my dear sis. It is good to see you.
Love, Debi

This was just fabulous. Being thirty-nine for thirty-six years has got to be some sort of record. Hope Father Flaps has a wonderful un-birthday and enjoys turning thirty-nine ... again. Great job, Debi. Gretchen

That surprises me, Ric, that you and Kimbob have never met.
But I suppose since he is a poet and you are mostly prose.
However, I am glad that you joined in on the No-Birthday for him.
Thank you for that, my dear friend. You are so sweet!
Hugs! Love, Debi

A beautifully written prayer poem for Kimbob, who was a former brewery worker in the place where he lives, and a basic one of the boys, love his nickname given to him from his fellow workers as Father Flaps. Yes, I was raised with little regard for birthdays, but Elaine makes a fuss, as does our church, so our kids do it for their kids, beautifully written Debi, blessings Roy

Hi Roy, I appreciate your kind review and comments for Kimbob and his poem. He will appreciate your kind comments too.
Well you may not think too much of your birthday, but when October 10th rolled around and you hadn't said anything about wanting a third poem, I at least had to wish you a happy birthday.
Thank you for making my day, my dear friend. Love, Debi

This is a very nicely written no birthday poem for Kim Bob and I very much enjoyed listening to it. Congratulations to him on walking 308 miles in seven months. I live a warm climate and in the first seven months of this year, I walked 580 miles. Hopefully by the end of the year I have walked 1000 miles that is my goal anyway.
