I am the very model of a Harvey Mudd professional.
I have a great obsession which lies in the small and technical.
My love was engineering, both the civil and electrical:
But then I took E54 and saw it wasn't practical.
I started out in physics but then rhinos stopped attracting me.
I took CS and now I yearn to burn Bill Gates in effigy.
My friends mistook my sickly, ghostly pallor for a powdered mime.
And I discovered what a simple bug can do to running time.
As fall wore on I started to love unis more than bicycles.
My newfound ScrippSie GirlFriend was as frigid as an icicle.
And I knew that even Jupiter inside his mighty pantheon
Could never overcome a ratio of nearly pi to one.
I cowed my Hum professor with my webs of cunning sophistry
I took the lectures as a chance to up my nodding off-istry
I knew not of the difference 'twixt Diderot and Sophocles
And learned that pass or fail is not a prop but a necessity.
And when you see I think that Western culture is a heavy load
And when I think that laundry's an offense against the honor code
And when my interests capture me and I become obsessional
You'll see I am the model of a Harvey Mudd professional.
