Occupational Hazard
(For female voice. Lyrics: Sophie Hannah)

He has slept with accountants and brokers,
with cover girls and even a cowgirl,
He has slept with non-smokers and smokers
in fields commercial and cultural.

He has slept with bookkeepers, bookbinders,
slept with auditors, florists, PAs,
child psychologists and child minders,
with directors of firms and of plays.

He has slept with the stupid and the clever,
he has slept with the rich and the poor,
but he sadly admits the he has never,
never slept with a poet before.

Real poets are rare, he confesses,
while it's easy to find a cashier,
so I give him some poets' addresses
and consider a change of career.
