The Workey Jerkey

You put a gadget in,

You pull part of a job out,

You put a gadget in,

Then you shake the gigs about -

You do the Workey Jerkey

As the world spins round and round -

That's what work's all about!

You put some software in,

You pull more humans out,

You put more software in,

Crunch and shake brain cells about -

You do the Workey Jerkey

As the world spins round and round -

That's what work's all about!

You put a robot in,

You take multiple jobs out,

You put a robot in,

The economy swings about -

You do the Workey Jerkey

As the world spins round and round -

That's what work's all about!

We can't be inconvenienced to diagnose our ills,

And desire same day delivery to increase our shopping thrills,

Then wonder why we have no money to pay the bills.

How do we expect to fix the recession

if robots are required for our world's progression?

One Share of Moon Robot

There is a very special and unique construction project brewing,

the magnitude of which, gave me many thoughts for chewing.

Apparently the Japanese are leaping closer to fulfilling their plan

to pump solar energy from the moon to every man and woman.

The idea was actually first proposed in 1968.

I guess you could say I'm learning about it a bit late.

I'm jealous of the robot builders and those who will control them
and sad that one day we'll speak of how the moon looked "back when..."

On the plus side, we will have plenty of green energy,

but I worry a disco ball moon would blinding for me.

If it makes the sky sparkle like a raver's dance party,

I'll need eye protection that is much more hearty.

I hope they're also planning a visitor center and resort

where the rich can come to relax, explore and cavort.

Many have dreamed of going there for years and years.

If our need for power impedes that, there will be many tears.

If all this happens, I'll just have more things to be jealous of.

I doubt I'll ever have the money to fly to the moon with my love.

Perhaps I'll invest in the company and pretend I own a robot.

Living vicariously through him could be the best chance I've got.
