AUTOMATION
(Alan
Sherman)
It
was
automation,
I
know
That
was
what
was
making
the
factory
go
It
was
IBM
It
was
Univac
It
was
all
those
gears
going
Clickity
clack,
dear
I
thought
automation
was
keen
Till
you
were
replaced
by
a
ten-ton
machine
It
was
a
computer
that
tore
us
apart,
dear
Automation
broke
my
heart.
There's
an
RCA
5-0-3
Standing
next
to
me,
dear,
where
you
used
to
be
Doesn't
have
your
smile
Doesn't
have
your
shape,
Just
a
bunch
of
punch
cards
and
light
bulbs
and
tape,
dear
You're
a
girl
who's
soft,
warm
and
sweet
But
you're
only
human
and
that's
obsolete
Though
I'm
very
fond
of
that
new
5-0-3,
dear
Automation's
not
for
Me.
It
was
automation,
I'm
told
That
s
why
I
got
fired
and
I'm
out
in
The
cold
How
could
I
have
known
When
the
5-0-3
Started
in
to
blink
it
was
winking
at
me,
dear
I
thought
it
was
just
some
mishap
When
it
sidled
over
and
sat
on
my
lap
But
when
it
said
"l
love
you
" and
gave
me
a
hug,
dear
That's
when
I
pulled
out.
.. it's
plug.
