Don't speak to me of Polgars. Don't mention Vera M.
(I really don't play very much like any one of them.)
Don't talk to me of hormones, or math and science scores
I've heard the line from Darwin and the one from Freud on wars.
I'm just another player, with another game to play;
the round's in seven minutes and I haven't time to stay
So ask me out to dinner, and maybe I'll say, 'Yes'...
but please don't ask me anymore why women don't play chess!
