I just thought that I would update you all on my job status...
I am a doctor. I put
my hand on foreheads that are too hot to do math today.
I am a
dentist. I examine braces that are too
tight to do math today too.
I am a taxi
service. I make sure all seatbelts are buckled on the way to the pumpkin patch,
the firehouse, the zoo, the airport, the hospital, and the farm to see the new
baby pigs.
I am an
actor. Learning your times tables can be
fun.
I am a mom.
I clean up throw-up.
I am a
detective. I know whose paper it is
where there is no name on it.
I am a
decorator. I wallpaper in yellow butcher
paper. I accent with green beanbag.
I am a
repairman. I know how to put cardboard
under a desk leg so it won’t wobble. I can remove the thirteen staples that
have just turned into one after being pounded in the stapler. I mend bruised
feelings and bicycle chains and broken shoelaces.
I am a
librarian. I know exactly where the book
with the great white shark on the cover is in the library.
I am a coat
rack. I hold sweaters so you can slide,
lunch money so you can slide, and glasses so you can slide some more.
I am an
electrician. I can make circuits that are parallel and circuits in series if I
study the drawing in the teacher’s manual at recess right before the kids come
in.
I am an
athlete. I can run to the bathroom and
back in two minutes.
I am a
mailman. I send home important newsletters about school photos so that your mom
can call me and ask why she never heard about Picture Day.
I am a
musician. I can play both parts to “Heart
and Soul.”
I am a
mathematician. I know that 32 kids –
Brian = easier day.
I am a
businessman. I loan money for lunch at a reasonable interest rater.
