"In the pursuit of virtue, don't be afraid to overtake your teacher."
"Young people should not be taken lightly. How do you know that they will not one day be better than you are now?"

Imagine?

My teacher told me to imagine
All the possibilities
So I tried to run and hop and jump
But I lacked stability

Then I tried to be creative
Just like an engineer
But then I failed, I could not build
I was technologically queer

But wait, I tried to draw a horse
And become the next Picasso
But I quit that for body building
Because I thought that I was macho

Next I tried to shoot a gun
But I can't hit the broad side of a barn
Then I tried to make a skirt
Out of thread, a needle, and some yarn

 After that I tried out firefighting
But that was a dud too
Then I was going to be a lawyer
But felt bad when I sued

Well maybe I don't know what to be
In twenty years from now
I might travel to New York City
I'd be the next, new girl in town
