He was a captain of industry

In meaningful trousers

And an upright shirt

There to bring efficiency

To an inefficient land

The people hated him

Which was fine

Because to him they were not people

How could they be?

In their unfocussed jeans

And floppy shirts

He fired them all

And replaced them with robots

Hard, dark, and not fond of unions

And when he was done

A robot replaced him

Which was fine

Because he had stock options

And a really great severance package
