{ 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.
