Careerhymes, you say? (With a Dentist Poem!)

Over on David L. Harrison's blog, J. Patrick Lewis stopped by to introduce a poetic form he calls the Careerhyme. Basically... four lines (in two rhyming couplets), a career name to start it and a definition of the career to follow. And they're meant to be "light verse"... so you know I gave it a whirl.

Dentist: cleaner of the gums;
Remover of stuck seeds and crumbs.
Years of school are on this track...
Yet no diploma! Just some plaque.

You gotta head over to David's blog, though, where you can read Pat and David's examples (oh, and Jane Yolen and Laura Purdie Salas and so many more fine folks stopped by, too). I left two others besides the above in the comments, too.

Got a careerhyme? Join the fun and share away!
