Occupational Hazards Poem by Joe Hughes

Jean works in the greengrocers,
She loves that veg and fruit
But eats so bloomin much of it -
The owner's destitute!

Dorothy, the dermatologist
Treats patients full of spots
But suffers from psoriasis
From her feet up to her top.

Peter, the psychiatrist
Cures those with mental ills
But he's moody, he's unhappy
So he's overdosed on pills.

Paul, the local Catholic priest
Is bound to love us all,
Until a fling with his receptionist
Has ended his Gods call.

Fred the friendly fisherman
Nets haddock, cod and skate
But when at home - not at sea
All fish and chips he hates.

So just be careful when you choose
An occupation or a job,
For you might turn around and find
Your livelihood's been robbed!
