He has slept with accountants and brokers, <br />With a cowgirl (well, someone from Healds). <br />He has slept with non-smokers and smokers <br />In commercial and cultural fields. <br /> <br />He has slept with book-keepers, book-binders, <br />Slept with auditors, florists, PAs <br />Child psychologists, even child minders, <br />With directors of firms and of plays. <br /> <br />He has slept with the stupid and clever. <br />He has slept with the rich and the poor <br />But he sadly admits that he's never <br />Slept with a poet before. <br /> <br />Real poets are rare, he confesses, <br />While it's easy to find a cashier. <br />So I give him some poets' addresses <br />And consider a change of career.<br /><br />Sophie Hannah<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/occupational-hazard/
