A Predilection For the Helping Professions

I have a predilection 
      for the helping professions
      As well, for artistic self-expression

      I'll take my leave with this confession
      Other 'pursuits' are no more than repression
         ~ That lead inexorably to depression

Smiles are still free of charge. Government has yet to tax them or link them to the wage-price spiral. lol. Keep smiling, Jan!
