If you don’t like
animals,
Then why work in a zoo?
Why become a plumber
If you can’t unblock
a loo?
Train as a pilot, by all
means –
But not if you are scared
of heights.
Apply only for nine-to-five
posts,
If you don’t fancy
working nights.
Don’t really want
to work with kids?
You’ll come across
those in a school.
Lorry drivers are expected
To drive lorries, as a
rule.
Book phobics don’t
suit libraries,
Or seek careers at Waterstones.
Get a job in Carphone
Warehouse,
And you’ll end up
selling phones.
You trained to “work
in mental health”.
Now you get paid to do so.
Present you with someone
mentally ill –
And, for some reason,
they expect you to know
What the hell to do to
help the bloody person.
