The Draftsman’s Song

August 1, 2014 Leave a Comment

Sung to the tune of “The Beverly Hillbillies”

Come and listen to the story ’bout a man named Jed,

A poor college kid, barely kept his family fed,

Then one day he was talking to a recruiter,

He said, “they’ll pay ya big bucks if ya work on CAD”,

Well the first thing ya know, ol’ Jed’s an drafts-man,

The kinfolk said, “Jed, move away from here.”

They said, “Arizona is the place ya oughta be,”

So he bought some doughnuts and he moved to Ahwautukee

Motorola that is . . dry heat . . no amusement parks.

On his first day at work they stuck him in a cube,

Fed him more doughnuts and sat him at a tube.

They said, “Your project’s late but we know just what to do,

Instead of 40 hours, we’ll work you fifty-two!”

OT that is . . unpaid . . . Mandatory

The weeks rolled by and things were looking bad,

Some schedules slipped and some managers were mad,

They called another meeting and decided on a fix,

The answer was simple, “we’ll work him sixty-six.”

Tired that is . . stressed out . . . no social life

Months turned into years and his hair was turning gray,

Jed worked hard while his life slipped away,

Waiting to retire when he turned sixty-four,

Instead he got a call and they escorted him out the door

Laid-off that is . . . debriefed . . . unemployed . . .
