David Crandall Poet Rhyme

Tied up in Nots

What you think is odd is not odd to me. 
Do we not think differently?
You see a glass half empty.  I see a glass half not full.
What you call exciting, I call not dull.
Maybe my brain's tied in a "not". 
You think I'm crazy, I think I'm not.

Gershon Wolf February 10, 2026 at 8:25 PM This is the best poem I have ever read --- in the 'not sense.' lol. David Crandall February 10, 2026 at 8:29 PM haha, I like that way you put that - lol!

Jan Allison February 10, 2026 at 10:06 AM I've given up bothering about what folk here think of me , they can spread malicious gossip but it makes them look even more dumb than they are. hugs jan x David Crandall February 10, 2026 at 5:05 PM Yep, you and Lin below, have the right attitude! Actually, I've not had too many folks level unpleasantries towards me - mostly the opposite, so I'm lucky. If we do our best and just be ourselves, we don't need to worry about others who might think ill of us.

Lin Lane February 10, 2026 at 8:49 AM False accusations abound when people misunderstand intentions. I have learned to just let them think what they want. You can't change closed minds. David Crandall February 10, 2026 at 5:00 PM Thanks, Lin!
