Notes About The Poem

11/13/2024 for As the third person BIO Poetry Contest sponsored by Julianne Williams

Dave Crandall - Third Party Perspective

Dave Crandall is a fella who is always in tune.
Don't believe it when they say he's crazy as a loon.
He's a vegetarian, so you might not relate
to the curious items that you find on his plate. 

He loves to solve mind-bending math puzzles just for fun,
and whether you like it or not, he'll surely ask you one.
He's got the sense of a blow-up animal balloon.
His favorite thing to watch is a Betty Boop cartoon.

He likes black and white movies from nineteen thirty-nine,
and folk songs from sixty-two, like "kisses, sweeter than wine."
While these anomalies, you might not think are so great, 
I think you will agree, he should gain a little weight.

Hello David, LOL! Your whimsical verses show a portrait of a truly unique individual. I loved reading your playful rhymes and your clever observations that capture the essence of eccentricity with warmth and humor. Yes, we should celebrate the beauty of our quirks, for individuality is a treasure that can be cherished. Autumn Blessings, My Friend, Daniel
