Good Help Is Really Hard To Find

                  (For Mark)

 

 

Gloria gripes to Brian,

“There ought to be a law.

These domestics all have creaky joints.

It has to be a design flaw.”

 

“Quality control’s a problem.

They have limited mobility.

The factory that manufactures them

should have a better, longer warranty.”

 

“They don't understand their programming.

Their power source is weak.

Repetitive tasks should be a cinch,

but their sensory systems are hard to tweak.”

 

“This planet should make a worldwide pact right now,”

She spoke with acumen.

Then this cyborg waved her robotic arms,

“No more hiring puny humans!”
