Sorry, Hal, but I took a few gender switching liberties
with your sonnet just for mischief.

Sonnet: Success
A successful woman is one who finds a man who can live
on less money than she makes. A successful man is one
who can avoid being ensnared by such a woman. A woman
who successfully weds such a man is one who
most successful men go out of their way not to meet
or to date or to even hang out with. A man who spends
more than his wife can make is one whom I'd love to meet
as long he spends much of it on me and that wife is not I.
A woman who succeeds in wedding such a man is a woman
who weds pleasure and torment at the very same moment.
A man whose wife cannot support him is one whom we
nowadays call an average man. A woman whose husband cannot
support her is truly in deep kimchi when she cannot support even
herself, not to mention those kids they both forgot to have.
