The Condemned
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
When the earth was created, the powers above,
|
||
Gave each man a job to work at and love.
|
||
He made Doctors and lawyers and plumbers and then,
|
||
He made carpenters, singers, and confidence men.
|
||
And when each had a job to work as he should,
|
||
He looked them all over and saw it was good.
|
||
|
||
He then sat down to rest for a day,
|
||
When a horrible groan chanced to come his way.
|
||
The Lord then looked down and his eyes opened wide,
|
||
For a motley collection of bums stood outside.
|
||
"Oh what can they want?" the creator asked them,
|
||
"Help us," they cried out, "A job for us men".
|
||
"We have no profession," they cried in dismay,
|
||
"And even the jails have turned us away".
|
||
Said the Lord, "I've seen many things without worth,
|
||
But here I find gathered the scum of the earth!"
|
||
|
||
The Lord was perplexed then he was mad,
|
||
For all the jobs, there was none to be had.
|
||
Then he spoke aloud in a deep angry tone,
|
||
"Forever and ever ye mongrels shal roam,
|
||
Ye shall freeze in the summer and sweat when it's cold,
|
||
Ye shall work on equipment thats dirty and old,
|
||
Ye shall crawl under raised floors, and there cables lay,
|
||
Ye shall be called out at midnight and work through the day,
|
||
Ye shall work on all holidays, and not make your worth,
|
||
Ye shall be blamed for all downtime that occurs on the earth,
|
||
Ye shall watch all the glory go to software and sales,
|
||
Ye shall be blamed by them both if the system then fails.
|
||
Ye shall be paid nothing out of sorrow and tears,
|
||
Ye shall be forever cursed, and called FIELD ENGINEERS!"
