Those lists of talents are drawn from those used by characters that have featured in my games; players other than me players defined them that way.

If on the other hand these rules are intended to be used for more or less normal games, then bard should be a profession like thief, that isn't all that expensive and leaves enough talent points for a second profession as well.

Don't the examples of the medic and rogue bards show that two professions are possible with just 32 points, even while eschewing the Bard talent? Here's another (archer is more of a niche than a profession, but the idea is close enough):
Archer Bard
ST 11
DX 11
IQ 10
Talents:
Bow (2)
Sex Appeal (1)
Missile Weapons (3)
Mundane Talent: Musical Instrument (1)
Mundane Talent: Singing Expert (2)
Poet (1)
Or, knock Missile Weapons down a point and give the bard Pickpocket to let him get a foot in the door of thievery.
