I like this poem alot. Tom is a nice guy and it is sweet to pay him tribute. I think the comparison to Charlie's Angels is funny. Are all of us writers here three babes in hot pants though? Funny.

Lol, I love your review Judith! I actually was trying to find a picture of three sexy babes holding notepads. But google couldn't help me. And you are a perfect Angel type! Thanks for the fun review my friend and so glad you stopped by for a visit!
-
Lol i think Tom is The Wizard of Oz in the Emerald City.
-
I think you are absolutely right, but think you make a beautiful 'Writing Angel'
-
Thank you love

Thank you again, my beautiful friend! 😘

Awe, thanks Pam for your lovely review and comments for Tom's poem.
It was one I had been meaning to write for quite a while, so last week Joan and I were joking about it, so thought I would try. So I appreciate your well wishes too my friend! Thanks again!

You are very welcome, Debi, and thanks for sharing.

It's about time someone acknowledged Tom's patience and endurance through the years. The ever present and invisible guide who helps us navigate this site. Thank you for sharing your thoughts that mirror mine.

Thank you so much June. You are so kind and I agree that Tom deserves a little recognition. I hope he also enjoys the humor of it.
Comment from Michael Cassar
You portray with diligence the anxiety of a newcomer to this website. Maybe Tom is the poetry phantom. I feel he might be a good businessman. Two reviews stop. A Disney poetry kingdom. Learning the rides for the love of poetry. Good read and comfort to newcomers. Michael

I thank you so much Michael. Hmmm, am I missing something, since I haven't heard of the poetry phantom. You have my interest my friend. Also I thank you for your kind comments regarding newcomers needing comfort.
I doubt I would still be here if it weren't for Tom's patience. So thanks again my very dear friend!
Comment from Sally Law
This is fun from the hospital. Tom is a good guy and has helped me more times than I can count. A fun poem and beer proposal. I look forward to the FanStory party. First you must get well, my friend, so you can cha-cha down the hall. :)) I'm perfectly serious!
Thinking and praying for you today, Debi dear!
Love and blessings always,
Sal xoxo's

You are so much fun Sally! Thanks for your lovely review and comments.
I hoped that someone would find some humor in the beer offer. I don't drink myself, but I wouldn't mind buying him one. Yet I'm sure it would be out of my neighborhood a little. Thanks for all the well wishes and wonderful prayers!
-
I enjoyed this. I don't drink at all. Actually, I never had a hard drink, ever. I made a vow to God after my Dad's alcoholism. I appreciate a good bear in my corner beef and cabbage recipe! Sending you my best today as always,

I will be releasing a three part story of my autobiography in October. You will then see why I don't drink. Could you pm me your email? I have something I think you might be interested in.
-
I look forward to it. I just sent you my email address about five minutes ago. Blessings for your day and get well soon! Love and blessings Sally XOs
Comment from GARY MACLEAN
Now that's a clever way to get goodies out of Tom. He is very elusive, isn't he? Where is he?
Great poem Debi. Rhyming is on point; syllable count makes it flow nicely and you made your point very clearly.
Good job, good to see you back in the saddle little lady.

Thanks so much Gary. It is always nice to hear from you. I appreciate all you kind words so much for this silly poem. I love having something to laugh about...... Btw: the poem about you from Regina was so sweet. Are you reading the awesome reviews? I might have said something nice about you too! : ) Lol, must you use phrases like 'back in the saddle?' I'm bruised all the way up through my butt area w/o any white skin showing except a little on my foot. I feel like I've been on a saddle for a month straight. Haha!
Thanks again my bff!
Comment from Wendy G
Lovely one for Tom. And we can all agree with the sentiments you expressed. Had to smile at the questions you asked him at the beginning - been there, done that. Lol. Well written.

Thank you my dear Wendy. I have heard many say that it was about time someone paid tribute to him, but there must have been others?. I sure appreciate your lovely review and comments my friend!
-
I think an occasional one. But he?ll be very pleased and encouraged by yours.
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Lol! Tom will laugh his socks off if he gets to read this one. I thought it was wonderful, Debi. No one has seen him, at least, I don't think they have. I have to say I agree with you, he is very patient, and always nice in his replies. A party?????? Year, right!! LOL I won't be holding my breath!! Lol. He'd have to pay for my air fare, for a start!!! LOL. Loved this, Debi, well done. I bet you're looking forward to leaving hospital and coming home to us here. It was a good idea to write these before you went in. Love and hugs, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

I so appreciate your fun review and comments my dear Sandra. I am so happy that it went well and was hoping that Tom did think it was funny.
Laughter is truly the best medicine. So are you and all my great friends here.
I thank you again my dear friend!
Comment from LateBloomer
Hi Debi, Lol ... throw us a party?????? Hmmmm. What would we have?
Virtual chips and dips and some really good chocolate cake. Of course, I would need my coffee. The rest of the crowd can drink a glass of vino.
Debi, my TSOTU, I have always thought of Tom as being "Charlie" of Charlie's Angels.
Of special note:
No one here has ever seen him, yet we know for sure he's there
(IDK, there might be some NJ people who have met him. Tom use to go to book shows, and I think he participated in some type of tournament in Asbury Park a few years ago. He did announce it at the time. I never got to go because I always worked on weekends, but it would have been fun to meet him and get in the "know." If anyone did, in fact, meet Tom, you might find out in a review.)
A fun poem that made me smile. I'm sure Tom is smiling too. Maybe, he'll leave you a review??? That would be nice. Xo. Margaret ~ LB

Aha, something else we both felt the same about but never shared!
The Charlie thing! Ok, My poem originally went kinda like this
'Tom it's time to show us all that you are really human.
Take some member cents and plan a great writer's reunion
Which ending do you like better. I'm not trusting my judgment too well right now. Thanks sis for the great review. And I'll join you with a coffee! : )

I like, "throw us all a party." You choose the right line. Xo. M

Comment from lyenochka
That is so sweet of you to write this tribute to Tom! He's really amazing that he replies so quickly and so helpfully. I wonder if there aren't a whole team of Toms out there. Thanks for sharing!
Of course, now you have so many friends to ask as well!!

Thanks so much my sweet friend! I wrote a few of these before going in, because I remembered how foggy my head was from the other one. And so glad I did, because it's all I can do to answer reviews w/o making a fool of myself. Lol, last night I was thanking someone and fell asleep, well when I woke up, I looked what I had written and it made no sense at all. So I will keep posting prepared ones until I find which room my muse wandered off to. Thanks for the kind words my friend!

You're doing amazing, Debi!
What did the test results show?
Is the infection gone?
💖💖🙏
-
White counts are still pretty low but on the bright side, I think the pain is a lil bit better.
-
😘
-
So glad to hear that the pain is better. Will be praying for the blood levels all get back to normal!
-
Thank you my lovely friend for those beautiful flowers. They maybe virtual but are such day brightener. Also thank you for all the extra prayers that I know are helping.. I can feel it. Sally told me that you both and Teri also said extra. I just feel so totally blessed.
Also, regarding my poem:
Just wanted to tell that I had changed the ending of this a couple times, because everyone had a different opinion on how it should go. So I wrote both endings and asked people to vote. Why not? It's all about having some fun! Right? 😘
-
We'll keep praying, Debi! Let us know when you are home.
As for the poem, I vote for the second ending.
