Gender Bender

Mikey wanted to take ballet.
Janey wanted to run track.
Bobby wanted to knit pretty sweaters.
Pam wanted to play quarterback.

But Mike grew up to be a runner
and Jane grew up to dance.
Bill became a football star
and Pamela mends pants.

It's such a shame that none of them
do what they want to do.
Don't follow in their footsteps;
carve a path that's right for you.
