Debi, thanks for promoting Jacob. He seems a very accomplished guy. Your poem about him is, as usual, very well written. Liked the insertion of the riddle--- just right!

Happy birthday, Jacob.

I wasn't sure if this was the Jacob that have on my fan list but I looked him up and it was. I didn't know he was so interested in boats. I'm reading the second book he is posting. He is good writer. It is always good to know more about these FanStory writers and I'm glad you are willing to share what you find out. Your poems are always good.

Thank you for introducing me to this writer. I've never crossed paths with him yet. It's great that he had his calling as a writer and poet at such a young age!

What a wonderful birthday tribute poem for Jacob. Many happy returns to him. He sounds like an interesting person. I can relate to the book reading and history as I love both of those myself. Your poem has captured his essence and helped us get to know another FanStory cohort. Great job, Debi!

Wham, bam, thank you mam! You just continue to hit home run after home run. Anyone wishing to compete with you will be wasting their time. To quote one of my favorite singers of all time, The dynamic Tina Turner. You my darling baby sis, you are Simply The Best!

What a lovely and very humorous verse, Debi (and I've never heard that joke before). As ever, you convey some much interesting info and fill any gaps we might have about my fellow countryman and great writer, Jacob, of whom I've been a fan pretty much from the start of his membership, I think. Happy Birthday, Jacob! And thanks to you too, Debi! Debbie xo

I'm a big Instagram person. Love that site so I'm going to go look him up immediately. It's nice to see younger writers are joining. What kind of writing does he do? Any specific genre or is he a jack of all trades? Great poem, Debbie. Thanks for the introduction. Gretchen

Happy birthday to Jacob! I see he's already read this poem and seems very pleased! Only 29! Nice rhyme and meter, Debi and I'm assuming the music was per his request?

Another birthday poem in the books!

Hi K, I went and looked all the way back to see who was first in line I hadn't thanked and you were one of the first I hadn't thanked yet. So sorry it was so late, as my arm is so bad I can barely type. I may have to use voice, yet they always get it wrong. So I never know what I am going to say. LOL.

Thanks for the awesome comments for Jacob and his poem. Love, Debi

Thank you so much Debi, I really enjoyed reading it. I was out in London with a few friends at a karaoke bar last night and sang these three songs, although I doubt if they were any good as I'd had a few drinks. Thank you again for the poem and the birthday wishes.

Awe, but Jacob, that is what you say to everything I write. This is your birthday poem and I want you to love it. So here is something you don't know about me. When I write something, I can't seem to really get into the editing until it is posted, so since I have been up, your birthday poem has changed five times. I think it is much smoother and easier to read. Based on the information I hope you think so too. Thanks a million, Jacob and happy birthday. And Please let me know if there are any changes needed.
