Here are my definitions of "Trekkie" and "Trekker" in 55 Form.
But just to be clear, I'm really much more of a Star Wars fan, so please don't lump me in with any of these people.
Trekkies 55
These guys take Star Trek a little too seriously.
It's more than just a show to them.
A philosophy.
Even a lifestyle.
Reality check!
Trekkies are ridiculous,
and it's okay to laugh.
BUT
only
because
ALL people are laughably ridiculous somehow.
Even you.
So remember,
when chortling:
Trekkies are free
to laugh
at you
too.

Trekkers 55
They heard "Trekkie" being used as a perjorative. They didn't like being mocked.
Their response?
"I'm not a Trekkie. I'm a Trekker. Trekkie equals freak. Trekker equals fan."
They turned away from others like themselves (but moreso) to join the mocking mainstream that will always chuckle snidely anyway.
Me?
I'm a Trekkie.
Beam me up!

Wordplay 55
Anna Gram and her pal, Inne Drome,
Lived in a mixed-up, backwards home.
To Anna, time might be a mite,
But Inne, in time, emit would sight.
"U R A Mat" to Anna spelled "trauma"
While Inne announced, "A Mall a Llama."

Inne loves "Anna." Anna loves "Nein."
Sharing wines they saw grin shine.
