Career Counseling
If you’re named for John the Baptist,
What vocation is the aptest?
Should you risk a fatal sentence
Calling felons to repentance?
Should you live alone and focused,
Eating honey with your locust?
Should you buy some advertisements
Urging sinners to baptizements?
Go in Peace, if that’s your Mission,
Live in Penance and Contrition!
But first consider some employment
That gives pleasure and enjoyment;
Though you go through life unshriven,
Use the gifts that you were given.
