Meet the Nerds (Feed the Birds, Robert and Richard Sherman)

Here's a combination of two of my favorite things: Mary Poppins (Feed the Birds in particular) and Star Trek!

Meet the Nerds

Late in the day, the convention is still
A-bustle with Trekkers galore.
They have come a long way in the hopes that they will
Meet with the crew they adore.

Some of the little nerds
Clutch teddy bears
Wearing a uniform shirt.
They've practiced the Vulcan
Salute with great care.
Have a heart. Don't treat them like dirt.

Meet the nerds, Leonard Nimoy
And Bill Shatner. Don't be annoyed.
Meet the nerds, poor geeky guys
With pointy ears and visor-clad eyes.

All around the convention the red-shirts and Klingons
Line up just to shake your hands.
Please don't try to flee it.
Keep signing and smiling.
It means everything to those fans.

Though you hate when they question you
On things of which you haven't a clue,
Meet the nerds, Leonard Nimoy
And Bill Shatner. Don't be annoyed.

Though you hate when they question you
On things of which you haven't a clue,
Meet the nerds, Leonard Nimoy
And Bill Shatner. Don't be annoyed.
