Inevitable Robots

Do you worry about your work?
Could a robot complete your trade?
Could you be replaced right now?
Do you walk around afraid,

That you’ll be ejected from your job, 
To a scrap heap of age,
Where your experience won’t count for much, 
And you’ll lose your wage?

Or maybe each day’s a bigger blessing, 
Are you grateful more and more?
Waiting for the day the robots come, 
Ushering you right out the door.

Because you’re ahead of the game,
You’ve arranged your cash affairs,
Because you put your money in the Markets,
And bought robotic shares.
