Comment from EeanBlack
Radiohead's "Creep " is a beautiful song for someone who feels out of place. My son makes me play it when I'm in the gym with him--talk about out of place. He just laughs and says, "Lift it, old man." He calls me when I'm feeling low. It's like he knows. That is one thing I did right. I raised a great son. I'm not a person of pride, except when he shows how good of a man he is.

Well that is quite the story Eean. You do have a good son but he has a pretty good son too.
Thanks for reading the poem and glad we had the right song that made your day.

One of your best!!! The image is sheer perfection, the poem is perfect in rhyme and meter and the fishing theme throughout pulls it all together with sincere wishes and humor!
Who is this man and where have you been hiding him?
Happy Birthday Steve!
I'm your soon to be fan!
You've outdone yourself, Debi!

Gee, you picked four great song clips there. But I think the poem may even be better. You certainly are the Queen of the birthday poem. They are always so flattering and generous in their praise. Rhyme and meter both appear to come so easily to you.
Debi, I really mean this, in my opinion you rate among the best on Fanstory.
