Ode to My Nerd Sisters

She who was wracked with grief when Optimus Prime died;

Who worried her parents considerably by having a crush on a Ninja Turtle;

Who long suffers having to explain her Halloween costume to non-nerds every single year,

But will continue to dress as obscure characters, because otherwise, it just isn’t fun;

Who oft wondered what the source of Frank Miller’s deep seeded issue with women is,

But worships the Goddamn Batman, anyway;

And who loved Han Solo so much,

She sorta hoped her boyfriend would say, “I know” that first time.
