Jack of all Trades

JACK OF ALL TRADES (Apprendiz de Todo, official de nada!)

By: MJS/June 3, 2008

 

I was the generous Lady Bountiful

But found itching palm

I was proclaimed Miss Congeniality

But once suspected in for it

I was a Queen of Black and White

            But defamed of snatching my David and Jonathan’s writes

And I was trying to build a good name

            But dubbed as mad as March Hare…

 

 

I’ve been a judge

             But never hit the nail on the head

I’ve been a business tycoon

            But caught on a pretty kettle of fish

I’ve been to a lot of a drop of the creature

            And lasted as lame duck

And I’ve been always breaking new ground

            But lasted always in flying a kite

 

 

I could be J-lo, having plaques of Oscars

            But always been less than the cheapest of those precious stars

I could be a famous West End performer

            But maybe I’ll receive scorns

Or could I be an in demand interpreter

            But just have the world’s cheapest rendition

Or could be a Math Wizard

            Who can receive honor in just one nation?

 

 

What should I do to overcome these heart injuries?

Take plan one, always breaking a new ground?

Or achieved plan two, take heroin and nail in one’s coffin?

Much better to throw those schemes

And call Jack Ketch to launch me to eternity.

            Or shall I go to Jericho and meet the Old Harry?

Whew! How I am depraved

            When I knew I am just Jack of all Trades!
