Career ABC's

Tammy White
I don't know what I want to do
Or what I want to be
So I made a silly poem
With jobs from A-Z

I could be an Actor
Working in a play
I could be a Baker
Eating cake all day

I could be a Cab Driver
Zooming through the streets
I could be a Doctor
Caring for your feet

I could be an Engineer
Drawing up the plans
I could be a Farmer
Working with the land

I could be a Golfer
Who knows how to hit a ball
I could be a Hairdresser
Working at the mall

I could be an Instructor
Teaching others using books
I could be a Judge
Sentencing the crooks

I could be a King
Who is ruler of the land
I could be a Lifeguard
At a beach with lots of sand

I could be a Miner
Drilling diamonds in the dark
I could be a Nanny
Taking children to the park

I could be an Orthodontist
Correcting someone's bite
I could be a Policeman
Breaking up a fight

I could be a Queen
With a fancy gold crown
I could be a Realtor
Selling homes in town

I could be a Social Worker
Helping out the poor
I could be a Travel Guide
Taking others for a tour

I could be an Usher
Seating people in the pews
I could be a Videographer
Capturing the news

I could be a Waiter
Earning lots of tips
I could be an X-Ray Technician
And take pictures of your hips

I could be a Yoga Teacher
Showing people how to stretch
I could be a Zookeeper
Teaching monkeys how to fetch

I still don't know quite what to do
But I do know I'm no fool
I know to get the good jobs
I'll have to stay in school
