Careers, Careers
[One of my coworkers just came back from speaking at Career Day. One of the kids had written this poem.]
Careers, Careers
What should I do?
Should you be me
And I be you?
Careers, Careers
What should I do?
Should I be a person that works at the zoo?
No, No, No
That’s too scary!
Besides all the animals
Are too, too hairy!
Should I be a dentist
Or should I be a queen?
Or maybe I’ll model for a magazine
No, dentists are painful
And modeling is too hard
And being a queen means you can
Never drive cars!
Careers, Careers
What should I do?
Should you be me
And I be you?
