The Undoing of Many Professions



If lawyers are disbarred

and clergymen defrocked

Then electricians should be delighted

Musicians denoted

Cowboys deranged

Pest controllers debugged

and models deposed

Then expect laundry workers to decrease

(eventually becoming depressed and depleted)

Bedmakers to be debunked

Baseball players debased

Bulldozer operators degraded

Organ donors delivered

Software engineers detested

Underwear manufacturers debriefed

Orientals disoriented

Composers decomposed

and (mirabile dictu)

Politicians devoted
