Tonight I told ChatGPT that the refrigerator wouldn't shut the hell up. The thing pathetically rumbles in the cheapness of creation in modernity, with constant muffled screams; brgggrr whrrrzzz brgggrrr, over and over again, haunting these apartment floors and walls, suffered by the corporal forms adorning them.

Do you remember when a workman Used to ply his trade with care? Do you remember when good service Counted more than selling shares? Do you remember back when products Would all stand the test of time? Back when pre-planned obsolescence Would be treated like a crime Do you remember back before the time When daily prices soared?

You must have heard of “planned obsolescence” But manufacturers say it ain't so A devious mind surely thought this one up Must be absolutely rolling in dough!
