Nerds Poems

Ten Gallon Hat

I come from the borough of Queens, New York
My classmates call me a Klutz and a dork
Those names pervaded my soul, taking a toll
Being at the bottom of the totem pole.

Then Dad took me to the town of Tortilla Flat
I walked into a store, bought a ten-gallon hat
I started talking like John Wayne, also bought

Bullies on the Titanic

I saw the ugly dweeb in the school yard
Thought I'd teach him that life was hard
He was weak, I felt like pushing him around
Jane and Mike were with me, I picked him off the ground

Mike laughed as the nerd's legs kicked in the air
Jane threw the geek's glasses, they cracked, she didn't care
Then this pinata

Book Nerds Enter

Book nerds enter
at your own risk
foot tap…which way to go
to dash away
down the stairs
to thumb the stacks and stacks

The major place is free
but book nerds long
to own a thousand
million - hug
them all with roving fingers
and supine bookmarks
placed in one and all

The remote control -
books aren’t completed one by one
we flip to different hooks*
and score

Tables at

Nerds

The sweet crunch of nerds against your teeth
Are enough to tear you away from all grief
The colours, bright pink, purple, red
Taste like a  rainbow  when you are fed.

We eat them in class
craving the tangy taste
We savour them, ah
None go to waste.

They are all mixed up
Green with pink, yellow with purple
which makes them taste

Now and again
a word
sneakily obscure
approaches the fog in me 
screams its name suddenly 

Apropos adverbs appear
clearly 
startling 
perplexing 
precarious adjectives 
slick little nouns 
caught hiding 
beyond babbling brooks 
sent to exile 
defiling crooks 
"pro"fessional nouns
jailed beneath eight parts of speech.
 
Preposition-ed

Nerds Wafting In Breezes

Upon the breeze of fate came love my way
To fragrance every flower with scents of you. 
Forever, now, your sweetness brightens day.

As morning light seeks sparkles on the dew
A quiet wind bestirs the bees and birds.
Oh, shiver in my soul, your eyes so blue.

This glory in my heart defies all words.
Wild passions raging like a

Maternal Algorithms (Poetry For Moms and Math Nerds)

I am the sum of the ages
beginning before my mother,
before my grandmother,
and before my grandmother's mother.

I am the product of their matriarchal choices,
the quotient of their actions, reflections, and self-images.
I am the difference of their generations.

And I bequeath the equation of this inheritance
to the matrices of my living legacies.

The Pride of Nerds

Come with me
And you’ll see
The pride of a nerd
Who has strayed from the herd
Of people in this school
Who think they’re so cool.
You may ask how,
but I swear it is avow.
You say this cannot be
But listen to me,
I’m proud to be a nerd.
You’ll fly like a bird
When you admit this.
It’s utter bliss
To fly so high. Admit
