Pairs of rhyming jobs??

This is going to sound a bit silly but here goes! So I had DD 7 months ago and DP made up a little snippet of a song about her. He just makes the words up on the spot but I'm not in any way musical or creative and I can never remember his. She loves the song, it always stops her crying, but I would really like to be able to do more than one verse. I see people on here making up poems really quickly and I wondered if anyone could think of jobs that rhyme?

So it goes ...Wesley, oh Wesley, you can be whatever you want to be.. you could be a train driver or a scuba diver, swimming with the fish in the sea 😂

If anyone can think of any I'd be very grateful! Also awaiting any comments for the name choice 😬

You can be a wizard
casting a spell
you can be a choirboy
ringing a bell
you can be a bunny
popping out of a hat
you can be anything
and that is that

I think the point is to make it silly and fun and add motions. Don't think you're not creative my dear! You can do it!

You could be a referee or teach geography.

You could bake cakes or you could charm snakes.

You could sell hats or be an acrobat.

You could work in a gym or teach children to swim.

You could be cabin crew or work at the zoo.

It was difficult. I asked chatgpt and it really has a hard time knowing what rhyming words are!

Here's the little song it finally came up with after me explaining rhymes to it quite a few times lol.

(Verse 1)
Wesley, oh Wesley, you can be whatever you want to be,
You could be a train driver or a scuba diver, swimming with the fish in the sea.

(Verse 2)
Wesley, oh Wesley, let your dreams unfold,
A firefighter, admire the courage you hold.
Or a songwriter, crafting stories to be told,
In every occupation, let your story be bold.

(Chorus)
Wesley, oh Wesley, the world's your song,
Composer, doctor, you can't go wrong.
From dusk till dawn, sing along,
In every occupation, you'll belong.

(Verse 3)
Wesley, oh Wesley, a painter with a brush,
Creating art, a masterpiece to hush.
Or an entertainer, making hearts gush,
In every occupation, feel the joyful rush.

(Chorus)
Wesley, oh Wesley, the world's your rhyme,
Teacher, preacher, take your time.
In every career, let your spirit climb,
A melody of choices, so sublime.

(Outro)
Wesley, oh Wesley, as you venture on,
Remember, in every verse, a new dawn.
A symphony of possibilities to spawn,
Wesley, oh Wesley, your journey's drawn.
