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 jejeune.

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,
