Fay was dying to go to the big dance
Praying a nice boy would give her a chance
But O, most unfortunate!
‘Dweeb’ called... Fay bit the bullet
‘Til he came to her door ~ in short plaid pants
christening cruise, ship to shore...queasy slick ~
tropically trotting, tempura-tapping, sure shoot’n quick ~
digital capture of roiling hammock can’t help courting hacks ~
HOrrendous cheesy chunks HUlking bits from back ~
Surely shooting crackers from dry yak, yakkity yUK ~
Torrential towing, whale-blowing brackish sucks ~
sleazy sponge sops uncorked sluice ~
dawns dreadful dweeb of joyful juice ~

Ever since I loved you
I wished to be your only
wished to see your face every morning
wished to make known to the world of our love
wished to wake up everyday with you in my bed
wished to associate you with every bit of success
wished to love you and love you for ages
wished to appoint you queen
to run the castle of my life
wished, wished, wished and
wished for everything good as it were you
thought I was supercilious for for having you
wished it were long
but then long is not forever
but then my wishes
yet to turn into a dark horse
for me to ride
you and I
world apart
with infatuation
making me prudish
inchoate ideas in your mind
a dweeb you consider me
root of your decision
if its love, we are living a lie
Mr. Sensitive
I’m so sensitive to her needs.
I’m so sensitive I can’t believe,
That she is really going out with me;
When I am such a dweeb.
She is so beautiful and sensitive;
She is so sensitive and sweet to me.
She is so wonderful I can’t believe,
That she is such a dweeb.
She’s a dweeb, yeah, but she is all mine.
She’s a dweeb in need and you know she’s right.
She’s a complete dweeb and she’s out of her mind;
This lovely dweeb is this nerd’s sunshine.

He claims not to be a geek,
Although it has been heard,
That he’s in the science clique.
He denies that he’s a nerd,
But if you quickly check,
His Sci-Fi interest is inferred.
He says he doesn’t like “Star Trek”,
But if you block the TV set,
He’ll often crane his neck.
He says he’s not a dweeb and yet,
Ask him about his PhD,
He’ll know the answer you can bet.
If he’d stop denying it he’d see,
I’m just as big a geek as he!
Some ooglay dweeb-o-rama after school
went and caught me mashing with my boy toy
(a stella stud, I kid you not -mad cool!)
Geek said, “He’s half your age!” I said, “No DOY!”
Before that tard could gag me out the door,
I told him, “Hey, step off and bag your face.”
Then he spazzed out and said I was a whore.
For real?? I’d barely got to second base!
Suck! Geek finally booked it; then my stud
put on some jams and everything was SCWHEET!
We vegged out on the couch and shared a bud,
then later played New Wave, grooved to the beat.
My dude is wicked, and the zeek was right:
I’m sure not young, but OH, how young the night!

(My decade of course is the 80's)
speak up my dear
the class can't hear you
when you mumble
e-n-u-n-c-i-a-t-e
stand up straight
pull that hair back
from your face
no wonder no one wants
to play with you
at recess all you ever do
is sit outside the classroom door
nose in a book
"look, look! it's bug-eyes"
she hears somebody say
"she's such a booger-nosed,
knobby-kneed, goober-dweeb"
she waits . . .
until their voices fade
to wipe her tears
away
It is easy to pick on the D.O.R.K.
or the dweeb of society
who is clumsy and meek
stuttering most of the time in his life
Rather spends time with his parents than the social clique
One who actually takes time to photograph THE BIRDS
BEES
SIMPLE LIFE IN CONTINUOUS MOTION
THE LAW
and so on..
Just because he is curious about THINGS that most would not care about
does not make him a GEEK
SIMPLETON
N'ER DO WELL
or other pleasant names taken to consideration
This Bloke is a human being and not just a ribbing for your kind little joke
Life was not meant to be the same for every one born upon this place
Deformaties are not people to be laughed at or scorn
they may be awkward and slightly out of perfectionism and beauty
Remember that and maybe the world can be a little more beautiful
They look for a patsy or a dweeb without orientation
Pointing their finger at the little guy
Try to make fun of him and cause much distress
They say:
HEY..GAY!!
And the name sticks around in your lifetime
Thinking to yourself:
YEAH!! I DESERVE BEING CALLED THAT NAME
BY THE 7 FOOT SIX INCH PREDATORS
It is easy to make sport of the half-pints without size
Put him down a peg would make their ego feel a hell of lot better
Ever since junior high and Senior
I would be called that and any other name in the book
YOU WUSSY!
LITTLE WEINER!
So I have never had "that Pleasure"
Love is more important than just "Grabbing" for kicks and moans
I want my eyes to see more into this life than frills
It is a social condition outside ourselves:
The hungry,the poor,and the needy,
Orphaned children,
Plight of the destitute nations around us
I'm okay to be gay
There is a lot more important issues
around here,any way!!
I feel that funny bulge a tingle
The mouth was craving for
Doritos and Pringle
Burger King has become the norm
This belly here is weathering hunger's Storm
French Fries Haven
for an old lard unshaven
I'm too late for a Spanish cutie
A fan of grease and some tutti-frutti
Enters the area that I call the throat
Ring Dings and cupcakes
soon they will coat
the layer of fatty flab
by forgetting the diet TAB
Bimbos love A HUNK
But not a dweeb of proportionate CHUNK
A little blueberry POP TART
For the tongue of this aging FART
Cannot savor if you give me that LIFE SAVOR
Leave me with Orville Redenbacher
If you would do me that kindly favor
We all have a thing
for munching on ONION RING
Pass the 1A
and some hamburgers our way
Flavor the bacon
scramble the egg
Mrs Parsons is 25
But already shows it in her leg
Margot sucks on a chip
All she is doing by enlarging her hip
Scotty is being naughty
That's why he's forever on the potty
Frank's sitting on the log
enjoying some HOT DOG
Patty has left for the day
before the OREOS come her way
The end is near
I feel it in my rear
As my once trim line turns jelly
From having too much junk food in my belly!!
