Birthday Poetry from the Successful-Blog Poet Laureate

An Ode to Successful Blog (and Liz)

by Joe

With such wonder two years ago I found
A New Blog that was friendly and conversations abound
It was inviting and different in this new place
The Blogger wanted to know each and every new face

As each new comment and bit of banter grew
The conversation, it wandered around and started anew
A bright idea Liz had one Tuesday Night
“Open Comments!” she said to everyone’s delight

From there, as before, as time went on
Another idea Liz had, it was S.O.B.con!
The year was ‘07 and all were invited
including me, and I was just so excited

All the new friends I made that weekend
Helped improve my Blogging to no end
And a nudge in business, referrals I guess
Came about from my new friends all, no less!

It depends on how you measure Success
But my new friends ’round here have given me
Happiness!

Happy Blog B-Day Successful Blog!

and Liz, Just Stay The Way You Are… (hear the song?)

Thank you, Joe.

    Congrats, Liz! Bummed that there’s no open mic night tonight, but thrilled for you and your party tomorrow night… wish I were not teaching class then. Here’s to many more years.

    (And great poetry, Joe… would expect nothing less from you)

    Hey Rick!
    Joe is such a part of this blog’s history as are you — our Official Philosopher. :)

    Wow, Tim!
    You teach on Wednesday from 7a.m. to 11p.m. Gosh I knew you were an overachiever, but that’s over overing it!!! [big Cheshire cat grin]

    Hey Liz,
    and Tim and Rick,
    I never even knew what a Laureate was until I met all of you SOB’s ;-)
    Hope to see everyone tomorrow (but I do miss the banter abounding tonight).
    I hope I can come up with a new ditty for the Big Day!

    Hey Joe!
    Banter away! I’m here!

    You’ve already made your poetic contribution. Any more will be such icing on the cake. I wouldn’t worry let the muse lead you!! :)

    Look at that, Joe. Fun and educational, too! :)

    Liz,
    That’s the only way I can do it, just let it flow.
    I am STILL playing around with the new laptop, I even have to look for the Backspace key to fix all the typing mistakes.
    And I have tp figure how to keep my gritty little palms OFF the Touch Pad!?!

    Hey, Rick!
    How cool is that?!! Now if you wax philosophical, we’ll have most everything! :)

    This feels like a cozy little private party, just for the regulars. ;-)

    I’m going to have to break up the private party on my end. I was just on my way to bed. I’ll do my best to avoid waxing philosophical, Liz.

    After some time you may enjoy the touchpad, Joe. I like it so much better than a mouse.

    Good night, Rick!

    Yeah, Joe,
    It’s just us and whoever else stops in for a drink and some nachos. :)

    Anyway, not too much tonight to say
    It’s time for bed, tomorrows another day

    Best wishes to Liz and all the SOB’s
    Wednesday’s the big day that we’ll shoot the breeze!

    Nite Liz
