{John L. Schick's "Are We An End In Ourselves" thread at the General Message Forum this AM got me to thinking "AHEAD"..on the Fate of Our Species..&..(gulp!)..I didn't see Real GOOD Things ahead...exactly. (Being the Sarcastic Ol' Fart I truly AM...)

So..let me put it into a SONG Format, WITH the Usual Bitta HUMOR to help it slide-down better...&..we can all LAUGH for at least a couple hundred years...}

Hey, It's Two-Thousand-Two-Hundred-Three
I Been Workin' My A$$-Off in This Factory
Crankin'-Out Hard-drives..& Micro-chips
Watchin' My Buddies All Get Their Pink Slips...

So, When My Cellphone Went-Off In My Arm
'Held It to My Ear..& Tried to Stay Calm
"Please Come To The Office & Get Your Last Pay"
DAMN, A ROBOT JUST FIRED ME..TODAY!

(CHORUS)
I Been Workin' My Butt-Off These 3-Hour-Days
Commutin' For HOURS On Old Bullet Trains
Draggin' My Feet Through This Nuclear Waste &
A ROBOT JUST FIRED ME TODAY!!!

So I Join The Ranks of The Earth's UNEMPLOYED
Hard to Find Work UNLESS You're An ANDROID:
They Can Work-LONGER and They're TWICE-as-SMART
(& They DON'T Pollute Clean Rooms With Burpin' & Farts)

So Me & The Kids Can All Move-Off to Mars
Where Humans Can Live, Tho The Living IS Hard
Earth Is SO COSTLY, & INSTEAD of A RAISE..
A ROBOT JUST FIRED ME..TODAY!

(CHORUS)
HE SITS IN HIS OFFICE & ISSUES COMMANDS
His BRAIN is By-INTEL, His Housing, From RAND
He USED To LAUNCH MISSILES, NOW He RUNS THE PLACE
And That ROBOT JUST FIRED ME TODAY...

(TAG)
IF He Only HAD ONE, I'd SPIT IN HIS FACE
'Cuz THAT ROBOT JUST FIRED ME..TODAY!
