Where no tyranny is tolerable

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 …

I use to dress up like a big egg and just sit on them.
Man, those chickens were really confused …
