My gosh, are there any more girls on FanStory than you have just cited? You did such a great job of both rhyming and tempo, even with having to work with primarily names.

Good job

    Thanks Gary, I would have loved to invite you, but not sure you would have cared for all the drama. However we ever have another one, we will invite your wife. Lol! No if we ever have another one, all the guys will be the ones I will pick on next. And oh what a party it will be! I will let my hubby come as he can add great drama by getting into discussions that some may agree or disagree about. He can be a great guy, but pretty strong in his convictions, which always makes for debates. You have been warned! Hehe! Thanks my dearest friend for your fun comments. And believe it or not, I am finding a few here and there that I forgot and have been adding them along the way. There are so many here that I haven't gotten to know yet, as these were the girls I feel closest to.

A delightful poem of the friends we all could be for lunch or coffee or just to hang out. A clever and fun creation that we all can enjoy.

Awesome.

Blessings
Janet

    Lol, I hope I didn't insult you by saying you looked tiny. And thank you for attending. There was a little drama, but I try not to go with boring. Haha
    And wouldn't be so nice if we all got together for real and not just virtual.
    Thanks for your kind words my friend. Your friendship is special to me.

Debi this is hilarious. It is so TRUE i never get out lol. If i go to your lunch i will get plowed. Omg. Friggin funny.
What started out as a contest entry ended up as a really great poem all it's own. That is how we roll, Deb.

    Thanks Sweetie. You did seem to be having a good time! Lol
    It's been something I have been wanting to do for a long time to show all my favorite gals how I feel. I just love you Judith for the fun we had, the lovely comments and for the six big stars! You are such a sweet friend and I am glad I didn't enter this as I came up with another fun poem. And I didn't think it would be good to name all these people and then join a contest. Y'know?Which reminds me I need to go vote.. But thanks so much my dear friend!

How could anyone be offended by this delightful gem, Debi, unless they strained their eyes looking for their names and wondered why they weren't invited? That's the trouble with this fun and well-intentioned romp ... it's impossible to fit in all the names. But I applaud you. Well done, my friend.

    Thanks Jay and yes, maybe hard, but I just knew I forgot a few people that I care about and have left spots for them. You dear are one and sorry that you weren't in right away. I have had a few that felt bad, but I nicely had to tell them that I really didn't know them yet, and sometime I will add another verse when I get to know some better. But you I actually just missed. I am going in to edit, because as I look back at this I want to know that my real friends were there, even tho they sure made a lot of drama. Lol!
    Thanks for your kind words and once again, oops!

    How embarrassing! I hope I didn't sound needy and hurt? As a non-poet, I wouldn't even expect exclusion.

    Not at all Jay, I knew names would pop up and that I felt I shouldn't have forgotten that I was going to add,. I have many non poet friends and already when I saw your name pop up, I thought shoot, so it actually was reassuring to me that you didn't mind. Thank you for that!

This poem was amazing, and a very enjoyable read. Thanks for including me, by the way. I really liked the flow of the words. The artwork went very well with your poem.

    Oh thank you so much Monica. You are so much fun and as sweet as they come. I loved doing one for all my favorites here, as you certainly are one. Thank you so much for your very kind comments and for being a part of it. It actually made me feel even closer to all. Thank you too for your six stars. That is so gracious of you! ............. I also have been meaning to tell you that it was my plan to take your letter with me to the hospital to read and enjoy and hopefully write back while there, but I left in such a hurry that it got left with a few other things I forgot. Then my husband says that he can't find it even tho I told him exactly where it is. So that's why you haven't heard from me. I have been here for over two weeks and hoping maybe to come home next week w therapy and HHC daily. And the biggest thrill is hopefully by Christmas I may walk again. I am so blessed and am so excited to read your letter. I will have lots of down time when they aren't here, and that will be my top priority when I get home. I feel just horrible about leaving it, but maybe I will need that boost of your lovely kindness then.. Thanks again my dear friend.

I have to say I never enjoyed having lunch with the girls so much. It was fun and delightful.
This was just brilliant and clever. I have to give you a six for dessert!
Best wishes

    Thanks so much Mary. It was hard to get all my favorites in there but it somehow made me feel even closer to everyone. Thank you so much for attending, the fun comments and your gracious gift of six stars. Maybe someday, we can do it for real! So appreciated my dear friend!

I love it Debi. Thank you for letting your imagination soar and describing this luncheon meeting. I am sure that we will never have a chance to get together like this - but wouldn't it be fun?

    Well Anne, I am certainly happy you were able to attend our little virtual event, and so happy you weren't offended. Even if I knew anything personal about my friends in real life, I wouldn't have used it, as I just wanted to keep this as fictional as possible. It was fun writing, because in someway it brought me closer to all of you, as silly as that may sound. Thank you for your kind words and you are such a lovely friend that I treasure so very much. I thank you with all my heart for the generous gift of six stars, as I truly appreciate them and everything else. God Bless you my sweet friend.

As a male FS member, I no doubt would not have been welcome. However, to be a fly on the wall, oh my goodness! I would no doubt given myself away and probably wound up getting swatted for creating a disturbance.
This is a fun read and I will wager that you had fun writing it. You are just a fun gal, a barrel of laughs as they say, and I adore you. I think you already know that.

    Nomi, what would I do without you? I certainly couldn't handle you being swatted, so I will just make sure next time that you get a personal invitation.
    I would have probably snuck you in, but didn't want you to have to see all the drama that was going on. Hehehe!
    Thank you for all the sweet and lovely things you said and I feel every bit the same way. I truly appreciate my big brother and the best friend anyone could ever have and love you with all my heart.

I just like that I was invited to this lunch. Lol. Very rare to see my name in print. This was silly but aren't most fun things. This was a great poem that would be so much fun if it could only happen. BTW, even if I'm not the intended Gretchen, don't ruin my illusion. Lol.

    My granddaughter used to say silly goose!, when I said something silly.
    Well I'm repeating those words to you. I don't know any other Gretchen's but even if I did, she couldn't hold a candle to you! I am so happy that nobody was offended as it was silly!Thanks so much for your always kind words and I truly treasure our friendship! I thank you too for such a gracious gift of six stars! Thanks again my sweet friend!

Unfortunately there's provably not going to be a time that all you girls can get together, but perhaps a lot will meet in heaven anyway, that will be awhile yet thought, delightfully and thoughtfully written as all your work is Debi, you add something wonderful to this site dear girl, get well, blessings Roy

    Thanks Roy! Lol, now isn't that one party you were glad you weren't invited to? I doubt people really act like that, getting all upset about writing a note?
    Yet reality just doesn't make funny and silly writing. Humor helps me thru so much! So Margaret says to me after she read it, 'you said I wasn't real popular, but you didn't say people were out to get me." I told her that's what you get by having so many people at your party. She then reminded me that I did the inviting and the writing... Hahahaha! But I have been so blessed to have found friends like Margaret, Helen, Teri, Sally and other lovely ladies, as well as you, Gary, Nomi, Willy, all Christians. So I love your reminder that our meeting may be in Heaven, and what a glorious day to meet Jesus. And the people that our Lord wanted us to love here maybe without ever meeting while we were here. Your will Lord! I know I couldn't love any of you more if we lived next door! And I say that w tears, in my eyes and heart, because it's so true! Thanks Roy for being one of my greatest blessings!! God must really love us to put certain people here together!
