The Mother per Fr. Orbos
SOMEONE SAID that robots will play a big role in the future—
they function for hours,
they never seem to run down,
they are low on maintenance,
and they do everything without praise,
acknowledgment or attention.
Actually, robots are nothing new.
They used to be called mothers.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Pt 1
Her name is Yoshimi - she's a black belt in karate
Working for the city - she has to discipline her body -
Cause she knows that it's demanding to defeat these
Evil machines - I know she can beat them -
Oh Yoshimi
They don't believe me
But you won't let those
Robots defeat me
Oh Yoshimi
They don't believe me
But you won't let those
Robots eat me
Those evil natured robots - they're programmed to
Destroy us - She's gotta be strong to fight them -
So she's taking lots of vitamins - cause she knows that
It'd be tragic if those evil robots win - I know
She can beat them

Robot Restaurant in Tokyo
The massive female robots
make the cabaret girls worrisome.
These feisty robots would turn the men
away from the Juliats and Cleopatras.
The wrinkled faces of the dancers
will drive the mad youths
to clink glasses with the robots.
Our boys who hang out at the nets
salivating over the X-rated clips
may be lured to these unfading beauties.
Even the killjoys will be wriggling
seeing the tempting features of these angels.
Send these robots with blonde hairs to the Mars
where the alien beings are very fast in climes harsh.
When the robots wink and wave
they would think and save their solar-dollars.
There is no Taliban or Ram-Sena in your land
and so you build robots by your magic wand.
Yet We give a big hand for your cute world-war hit strand.
Divert a few million yen to feed and clothe the girls
who suffer in Senegal Dakar Church Orphanage.
The poor ones had lost their family members
in the wars between the rulers and the rebels
in the west, east and the Centre of North Africa.

Robot Parade
In a future time
Children will work together
To build a giant cyborg.
Robot Parade.
Robot Parade.
Wave the flags that
The robots made.
Robot Parade.
Robot Parade.
Robots obey what
The children say.
There's electric cars,
There's electric trains,
Here comes a robot with
Elecrtric brains.
Robot Parade.
Robot Parade.
Wave the flags that
The robots made.
Robot Parade.
Robot Parade.
Robots obey what
The children say.

The Few Chore
The future is here
I'll say it again
The future is here
Two thousand ten
Flying cars, time-warps
Food comes in pill-form
Robots n' teleports
Progress is still-born
The future came and went
I guess thats the past
The future is coming
I bet it won't last
The past is tomorrow
Or will be next week
Time's a mother****er
The future is bleak.

Technology
Technology is our future.
That's what they all say.
But I think our future
is getting in our way.
We, as humans
are becoming robotic.
So much so
that it seems idiotic.
We rely on machines
to tell us what to do.
If the computers are down
no one has a clue.
The kids play with joysticks
held tightly in their hand,
mowing people down
as fast as they can.
DVD video games
are all the rage now.
Kids don't skip rope anymore.
They've forgotten how.
Every day another gadget
is every kid's dream.
Just flick the tube on.
There's the advertising scheme.
Now what we have happening
I'm sure we all can see
is the technological giants
created a false reality.
Just sit and watch closely
that most kids we see today
don't know about simplicity
when it comes to play.
They long for it, I know.
For that's how we are made.
We've instincts for being human,
not robots on parade.
We cannot stop technology.
It's gone too far for that.
But progress must be sensible
and not replace humans to be an automate.

Well, really the way worked was that I had probably built fifty robots before Mystery Science Theater, and I had sold them in a store in Minneapolis in a store called Props, which was kind of a high end gift shop.

Thoughts About Cars
Drifting thoughts.
Interesting article I read,
in a few years robots and the chip
can take over most manual work
and cars are so advanced they
don't need a driver.
75% of the population will be
permanently unemployed.
Appealing, but who is going to buy
the clever cars?
I think we have to rethink the future.
And a last thought who the hell wants
to drive a car
that drives itself?
