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!
