Charles |
| Charles got a job in a factory |
| Drilling sheet metal from six till three |
| Worked extra hours for a better wage |
| Got lost in his task quite needlessly |
| I noticed his brain was a plastic box |
| His work rate improved 'cause he couldn’t stop |
| He couldn’t eat lunch with those metal hands |
| His legs were supports for new inner glands |
| Next when I saw him his face was gone |
| A stainless steel spine now instead of bone |
| His arms became grafted onto the switch |
| Six months without food made it quite a trip |
| His wife soon returned from her open grief |
| She told his employer she had kids to keep |
| They gave her the scrap price of his machine |
| Last weekend Charles became obsolete |
