Geeks

There's your practical geek, and your theorist,
Your occasional geek, your careerist,
The closest to freaks
Are the MBA geeks,
But your armed forces geek's the severest.

Your tech-writing geek is the clearest,
Conducting geeks come off the sneerest --
Though you're often beguiled
By the geek who's a child
And musical, since they’re the dearest.

Libertarian geeks are frontierist
And the Communist geeks equal-peerist;
The (R) geek just robs
The (D) geek of jobs,
While the laissez faire geek is austerest.

Your monarchist geek’s cavalierest;
The theocracy geek is wazirest;
The oligarch geeks
Think states are boutiques
And policy geeks pamphleteerist.

The gossiping geeks are the smearest,
On the Lido a geek’s gondolierest.
The old circus geek
Bites with ancient technique;
Which makes him the literal drearest.

Your Vincent van Gogh geek’s the earest,
Your Errol Flynn geeks chandelierest;
And lesser-known stars
Get geeky in bars,
While your back-stage and road geeks are beerest.

The calendar geeks are leap-yearest
And fishing geeks wadest or pierest
Your legal geek skates
And equivocates,
While the geek of rare books is premierest.

The medical geeks are sincerest
The suntanning geek is St Cyrest.
Your logical geek
Is not as unique
As he thinks, but he’s always sans seerist.

Your audio geek is the sheerest
And marquetry geeks the veneerest;
The gun geeks are loud,
The food geeks a crowd,
And the poetry geeks are the queerest.

Your salaried geek is the merest
And do-gooder geeks interferest;
The money geek's mean
The sex geek's obscene
And the one right beside you's the nearest.
