Geeky Hermione Granger
At Hogwarts, she's no stranger ;
With twisted gibberish, she'd whip a spell
That could make Dumbledore sorely unwell !
First Place
~
from J K Rowlings' book series, Harry Potter
Talk a little bit nerdy just for me,
let’s watch ‘Star Wars’ all night long;
I’ll be your Rebel princess faithfully;
Bury my moan in the theme song,
can you handle a geeky kind of kink?
The cinematic innuendo let’s prolong;
Putty in your hands before you blink,
you can be part of my wildest dream;
Each scene you recite I’m on the brink;
‘Imperial March’ hits my bloodstream,
keep up with the beat make me scream.
Haggis hype
Bagpipes bleating like unshorn sheep
Tartan theatrical - military tatoos
Scotland cloning Dolly the Sheep
National pride - Robbie Burns, poet, bard of Auld Lang Syne
Highlands of ancient rocks, rift vallies
natural beauty, layers of worth
Loch Ness, geologic scooped, water serene
Nessie settled in depths, unseen
sonar detection elusive
marine monster of geeky charm
conjured in gift shop puffery
Nessie hat, Dragon like, tucked above protruding ears
In Edinburgh's historic streets
Whiskey fed men, burly, bearded
strut
wrapped in kilts
traditional garb
plaid, pleated, blessed, dressed
in woolen scratchiness (avoid a public itch)
Breezy kilts wrap manly legs menaced by
thigh high thistles
Scottish reach prickly
No matter
Scots men, image strong
(ignore the thistles and street whistles)
brimming swagger like malt liquor
skirting scavengers in exploration peaks
men in kilts (minimalism denied)
protectors of the realm
unafraid
to let it all hang out

Affectionate, admired, amusing, best-friend,
Caring, devoted, and enthusiastic.
Fanatical, gratifying, gentle, geeky, handy, and incredible.
Juicy covered in chocolate, kind, lick-able, loving, my mate, but also nerdy,
Oblectation, partner, Quiet nights...or not so quiet, romance, sweet,
Thoughtful, tender, Unique, unforgettable, undying love, valuable,
Wanted, your my Xanadu, yearning
My Zest for life

Lonely and hating what her friend has become.
Seems like no more friendship to believe in,
Art the only place to breathe in.
Meeting new people who are considered geeks and freaks,
Hanging with them all week.
Near the end, her "geeky" friend shows her Jesus,
And she is saved.
Finally, out of her lonely cave.
She faced troubles before, but thankfully
Being friends with that "geek" meant so much more.
The 1960's were pretty freaky
The British invasion pretty sneaky
Old Guard politics pretty creaky
(America's favorite dessert a Twinkie)
Folk singers and protest songs pretty cheeky
~ Bob Dylan's voice gravelly and pretty squeaky
Barry Goldwater's horn-rimmed specs plenty geeky
Boston Celtics' championship run plenty streaky
(Kids 'of all ages' favorite toy a Slinky)
Woodstock Music Festival's skies plenty leaky
Jimmy Hendrix' Star-Spangled Banner provocatively neat-key
~ Not to mention the paleoanthropological excavations and monkeyshines
of Louis and Mary Leakey!
I can't believe how much I've grown
From the little girl I've known
Who was very scared and shy
Hoping one day I could try
To find others who could be
Part of a community
I was in for quite a while
Showing all my unique style
And behaviors I possess
I just wanted to confess
I felt so lonely each day
Friends would never come my way
When they found out all my quirks
They became ignorant mean jerks
Just because I wouldn't do
Bad things others wanted me to
Like taking drugs to get a thrill
From a needle or a pill
Or drinking till you'd be sick
Isn't something I would pick
Blowing smoke into the air
From cigarettes, I didn't care
To join in any of these
I just wanted to be free
From all this insanity
Sex and partying was not
A part of my wholesome heart
Being myself I would keep
Knowing somewhere way down deep
Others were being harrassed
Being kicked out, it wont last
I'd rather be a geeky nerd
Than part of a stuck up herd
I will find true friends one day
Who wont abandon me and stray
We will have fun never ending
And the vibes we will be sending
To each other will be of
Accepting caring and love
Dorky
Geeky
Stinky
Sneaky
My school friends were dorky, geeky, game
but they were quite stinky, sneaky, lame.

123... Take me on a date, bake me a cake, make me happy! Birds are flappy, nerds are geeky. Art, in a cart, maybe a fart. Socks are stinky, I drop a pencil, oh no! 133... Take me on a date, bake me a cake, make me happy! Birds are flappy, nerds are geeky, art, in a cart, maybe a fart! Drop that, drop that, your lazy, I'm crazy! Take a break, it's simple, I hate a pimple, your my mate, are you late, wake up! Your lazy, I'm crazy! Make it up it's over now take a break over and out!
I feel like doing a math on how many times
you laugh and smile when you are around me.
Your beauty is like rocket science - I can't
yet understand how you are so angelic!
The warmth of your kiss on my lips
is like nuclear fission- my body bursts with
so much energy to light the sky like day!
Once was a folk singer back in the sixties
It was surely my time to shine
Along with the great Peter Paul and Mary
They seemed like good friends of mine
A group of six, The Canadiana Folksingers
Appeared on Canadian TV
A couple of albums and two or three shows
Played banjo, sure looked geeky
Hi Jolly was our biggest success
Wherever we went they clamoured for it
Did I tell you Bruce played a one string bass
It added some charm I'll admit
Wife Linda was one of the two girl singers
Sure prettied up the group I'll say
Didn't make much money but that didn't matter
The joy hasn't left to this day
Not everyone can say they were part of a group
Twas a very special time in my life
Wish I could go back and relive it again
A great time for me and my wife

A s I think
B ack on all those days of
C onfusion, utter
D esolation, I remember
E very blessing that befell me.
F amily and friends and of course
G od above loved and cared for me.
H aving thought about it,
I realised how lucky I was.
J ennifer might be happier,
K evin more successful, but
L ess blessed are they in
M y sight, they don't have what I do.
N o, they don't have my family,
O r Awsome friends like mine either.
P erks of being who I am
Q uiet, bordering on boring
R eserved? Ha!That's what they think
S ocially awkward and of course, a
T eensy bit geeky.
U nawares caught, quite fumbling
V ain, oh, no one knows how vain,
W eird? Well I'm wired that way. Quite
X enophobic, I'm not even kidding.
Y et, that side of me gets
Z ero exposure..No one really knows me that way.
I once had a geeky friend named Lance
Whose sex life never had a chance
We went to a strip club
Where a gal said, “Hey bub”
He yelled, “Alright, my first lap-top dance!”
