Jaime’s latest hair-brained scheme to fix the world. Rubber Bands I think the way To solve the energy crisis Is to harness the power Stored up in rubber bands. A rubber band in every home! … It is so obvious That we don’t even think of it … Maybe even laugh at it. If you have ever stretched a rubber band, If you have ever popped a rubber band, If you have even tried to twist a rubber band, You know the energy they can produce. The power companies think Rubber bands are a terrible idea, And insist they can not work. They think people, like me and you, Don’t know how to operate the rubber band---- But, of course, What else can they say? They don’t want to give up Their stinking monopoly on power. They don’t want poor people To have the use of rubber bands. Instead of giving power to the people By letting them have rubber bands, Making them resort for power To the energy of Scotch tape Or maybe paper clips or glue, They only want to keep Their stinking corporate profits For themselves. Just imagine what would happen … A rubber band in every household! No stinking, fossel-guzzling generation plants; No dangerous transmission lines To clutter the natural landscape; No electric transformers and switch boxes; No invisible magnetic fields That may cause chocolate in children if inhaled; No more electric shocks. And instead of power blackouts, There would be only rubber-band pop-outs, Kind of like popcorn. Jaime’s next scheme to fix the world, Will be to abolish Monday. Everybody hates Monday … Jaime I use to dress up like a big egg and just sit on them. Man, those chickens were really confused … |

LOL, found a rubber band and bounced this one back to the top. Still laughing at the idea of bypassing Monday. |

Enjoyed your thoughts here Jaime heh...bypassing Monday will be great... but wouldn't that make Tuesday like Monday? Maree Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. |
