In the style of Dorothy Parker.
My dear girl
With education
Men don't like such concentration
They despise that "larnin' stuff"
And that can make things pretty rough

Please don' t mention Ph.D.
That will surely make him flee
Play it safe
Admire his car
This will get you very far

Soon you'll have men on the phone
Me, I'd rather be alone.
