HOBBIES FOR EVERYONE!

Everyone has a hobby, no matter how strange

It may seem to others, who think you're deranged

Collectors especially are looked at askew

What's normal for them seems crazy to you

An oologist collects eggs, which makes them quite reckless

Especially when they're eyeing your breakfast.

A dipterist collects flies, much like a spider

If they spin their own webs, does that make them a writer? (Some pig!)

My hobby is harmless, I collect funny words.

And I'm gobsmacked by the ones I find most absurd

English is chockablock with odd words, I'm chuffed to say

I feel panurgic, like I could do this all day.

I'm not knackered or peckish though it seems dodgy to you.

I could lollygag all night on a word like jejune.

The world is on fire and it may seem Quixotic

To spend my time on words so exotic.

If you prefer someone who seems like they care

Find an arctophile, they collect teddy bears.

But I'm a logophile, and I won't apologize.

Just be grateful I don't collect flies,
