Notes About The Poem

Peoples' opinions of me don't bother me now I am older as much as they did when I was younger. However, I am amused at some of the reactions of friends, family and strangers if I speak in rhyme, as I do sometimes, or if I reveal that I have written a new poem or song. It is almost as if some people take a step back or become a little embarrassed and don't know what to say. Some people do actually tell me that they think that I am weird!

Whatever Does That Mean

They say that I'm prolific
Whatever does that mean?
It makes me sound like a rabbit
Bob-bobbing in a pretty scene.

It makes me feel terrific
And not an old has-been,
When I find a word I grab it
Towards rhyming I often lean.

And here I go again
Another song I’m writing,
Thoughts are bouncing round my brain
My word – my life’s exciting!

They say I’m too poetic
Whatever does that mean?
They all sound sympathetic
As if I’m tainted or unclean.

It makes me feel terrific
And not an old has-been,
It’s far better than pathetic
Never heard and never seen

And here I go again
Another song I’m writing,
Thoughts are bouncing round my brain
My word – my life’s exciting!

They say that I'm rather weird
Whatever does that mean?
It makes me sound like I’m a freak
To be displayed on the village green.

It makes me feel terrific
And not an old has-been,
For I am a song-writing geek
Write lyrics even in my dreams.

And here I go again
Another song I’m writing,
Thoughts are bouncing round my brain
My word – my life’s exciting!

And here I go again
Another song I’m writing,
Thoughts are bouncing round my brain
My word – my life’s exciting!

I am a song-writing geek
Whatever does that mean?
