Misha you are wonderful
I envy you you hunk.
All the wonderful facts you find
The theories you debunk.

I wish I could find some men
Who would work 66-hours for me.
And not ask for any more money 
That is of course the key.

Come on Misha help me do,
I'll give up feminist thoughts.
If you could find me ten such men
I will back you to the dot.

And I have a small favor to ask
I am theory-wise broke.
Can I have a puff or two 
Of whatever that you smoke?
