"Dork"

They call me "dork"
Because I prefer reading the SEVENTH Harry Potter book
As opposed to going to a party
Of people I don't know.
They call me "dork"
Because I get bored watching TV;
Unless of course those shows are:
Golden Girls, NINJA WARRIOR, or Invader Zim.

Maybe I am a dork.
If a dork stays home on weekends to catch up on homework and sleep.
If a dork reads excessively,
Can understand The Iliad,
Knows who WROTE The Iliad,
Cares more about the history test then my next boyfriend,
Than yes I am a dork.

I spend time with my family rather than go out with friends.
Sometimes I'm not even with my family, just sitting in bed.
I go to church every Sunday,
Love going to the Guggenheim on Summer days,
Listen to Billy Joel on a regular basis,
And yes,
I spent all Summer memorizing "We Didn't Start the Fire".
Because I'm such a dork.

If this is what makes me a dork,
Than the dorkiest part of all:
Is I genuinely enjoy,
Being a dork.
