Eccentric and Proud of It

If you don't have a garden, You can still cultivate your eccentricities without pardon. It is not that hard, Even if you have no yard. As long as you have a book, You can achieve that eccentric look, Without money in the bank, Or petrol in the tank. Eccentricities will grow inside your concrete box, Even if you have no locks. You can grow one on the run, If you really want some fun. It is best to start when you are young, So you never have to carry a gun, As eccentricity gives you a better way to act, And that is a fact. If you plan to grow old, Without being alone in the cold, Then your eccentricity should take centre stage, As it only gets better with age. Our grandson I am pleased to announce, Is now leading us in a dance, We think he will be eccentric by the time he is two, And will teach his Mother to be eccentric too. So, if you want your personality to become electric, A little cultivating will make you eccentric, Giving you the best chance, In leading a life of fun and romance.

A very funny poem I can relate to that. The older I get the more eccentric I become I am at an age now that I am not too sure if it is the eccentricity or the loss of marbles especially when I talk out loud to myself and look around to see who spoke ... Thank you made me laugh...

Age is not as relevant as it used to be. It has been publicly stated that this is first time in history when children may not outlive their parents. I like to think eccentricity makes us more interesting. We can do most things if we pace ourselves. Have a good weekend, Regards David

Thank you David. I was an Early Childhood Teacher for close to 30 years and my eccentricity helped me get and keep their attention especially babies. I also worked with problem teenage boys, handicapped, mentally challenged both old and young. Was also a team leader in scout movement mostly cubs (wood beads). Of course you will appreciate the difference between eccentricity which one can mostly control and downright weirdness. Best regards David in NZ
