Through the hallways, out the door
To the math club they go once more
Donning pocket protectors
And enjoying lectures
Nerds

Shirts tucked in and buttoned up
At home they have their Star Wars cup
A room adorned with scientists
A football that was never missed
Nerds

Trophies for the spelling bee
Never one for sports you see
Knee-high socks beneath sandals
A new book bag with built-in handles
Nerds

A sense of humor that is quite a bore
To be anti-social is all they're for
Pok'mon cards they collect
A Yu-Gi-Oh video they never eject
Nerds

Infinitely combed hair and coke-bottle glasses
Sprinting down the halls to their classes
Their only toy is a calculator
And their hero is Darth Vader
Nerds

A long-sleeved shirt worn round the waist
And stupid jokes that are science-based
A bizarre laugh that never fails
And huge braces that seem like rails
Nerds

Obsession for a fanny-pack
The latest computer you can't hack
Physical activity is quite a drag
Unless you're playing 'Wii tag'
Nerds

If you meet one, run away
Their mission: to annoy you every day
Nerds

I wrote this quite some time ago and recently found it. I wrote it when I had nothing to do and forgot about it.
