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?

  1. How many robots does it take to screw in a light-bulb? None, they can see with a night vision app. And when they go to take your job away, they prefer you can't see. Just don't struggle, it'll be over quickly.

  2. Yikes! Scary joke and comment by Jeffrey...Excellent riff on the hokey pokey Rachel! It is amazing how much can be done by robots--it's fascinating and terrifying at the same time. They're doing jobs that most people wouldn't really want to do, but that's also the entry place for people to move up--it's a conundrum.
