: Happy 80th Birthday Ann by Debi Pick Marquette


Louisiana born and raised until age of nineteen

She's been in Dallas sixty years, they've not all been serene

Ronnie and Ann had forty years, kids, Mary, Denise, Ray

Then came heartache for them, when sadly Ronnie passed away


But thankfully she is a Gran; Five grandkids brightened days for Ann


Years later married Randall, his love she could rely on

But it was during Covid, he turned ill, he too was gone

So once again such pain and sorrow, seems like God forbids

Her family would help her, and now three sweet great grandkids


She has another caring man, her brother, John, is there for Ann


Now Ann has owned insurance agency thirty four years

And Mary helps with mom's business and are entrepreneurs 

She loves her watch dog, Bandit, who helps keep her safe and sound

He barks like crazy to tell Ann if strangers are around 


Off to casino when she can; An outing that is fun for Ann


Work will be done end of the year, she sold the agency 

So now at just eighty years young, retirement she’ll see

There’ll be more time for birdwatching, debating politics

National Parks with family, and fun on their picnics


At FanStory, I am her fan, I treasure my friendship with Ann


When started poem, I first began, to tell you this, but then I ran

A hundred years is in her plan, to make it part of her life span

I think if anybody can, our now 80 year young Ann can


So all in our FanStory clan, please wish Happy Birthday to Ann

Author Notes
My Merry~go~Rhyme Rules:
1. must rhyme
2. must be fun
3. normal 4 line stanzas
4. a fun line or 2 between each stanza (for the up and down carousel effect)
5. and mostly carefree and joyful (for the round and round effect)
6. may have sadness in poem, but must have joyful ending, to keep the theme going

These tribute poems are written in appreciation to friends who have been kind enough to frequently review me, even though I cannot always review back as much as I would like. For eyes and health reasons my screen time is limited, and this is my way of saying thank you.


For those times in the kitchen, where Ann's meals could use a little twist
