his is quite clever and fun if you enjoy “wordsmithing” (言葉の遊び).
I wonder who thinks of all this stuff.
Smith…はよくある英語の名前。IronSmith 又はBlackSmith(鍛冶屋さん), GoldSmith(金細工氏), SilverSmith (銀細工氏), などから来てる。
だから…WordSmith は言葉を上手に操る人です(ジョーク!)。

1. My first job was working in an Orange Juice factory, but I got canned . Couldn’t concentrate.
2. Then I worked in the woods as a Lumberjack, but just couldn’t hack it, so they gave me the axe .
3. After that, I tried being a Tailor, but wasn’t suited for it, mainly because it was a sew-sew job.
4. Next, I tried working in a Muffler Factory, but that was too exhausting.
5. Then, tried being a Chef – figured it would add a little spice to my life, but just didn’t have the thyme.
6. Next, I attempted being a Deli Worker, but any way I sliced it…. I couldn’t cut the mustard.
7. My best job was as a Musician, but eventually found I wasn’t noteworthy.
8. I studied a long time to become a Doctor, but didn’t have any patience
9. Next, was a job in a Shoe Factory. Tried hard but just didn’t fit in.
