Progress

We’re the gift genius who will make your future bright

our brilliance already invented television reruns,

movie sequels and crappy commercial clichés

because we know eventually

what we do the same just has to get better,

why it gives us such joy

over how politicians love to follow our example.

 

And we are so proud of our latest creation

a perfect solution to the energy crisis

the push and pull cycle machine

 

oh it is so grand and really fun to use

even though we only end up pedaling in circles,

still is just an improvement on the merry-go-round

because we get to go in a bigger circle.

 

The great thing is how we will sell a million of them

since there are so many people out there

who keep believing our advertisements

that next time our same idea will be an improvement,

thank goodness that sanity is so rare among consumers

or we would be out of business.
