When I was young, I wanted to grow up to become a big success
So I went to college, but my parents only wanted me to get my M.R.S.
In an act of post-teenage defiance
I changed my major from sociology to computer science
But then I found that smart women are universally disparaged
And I couldn't get a date, let alone get marriaged
So although I have a great job now, as a console jockey
I regret that I never got to play tonsil hockey.
