"Oh I hate the mornings
when its my turn
I'd rather do beds any day
Beds or plasma

Hello Mrs Ellersley
About your Robert
Can you bring him in at 10?
Now then my dear
you know the contract
No Benefit unless he signed
Well he's the perfect match
Yes Yes A scientist
A Worker
Yes An accident
Off below the knee
So its really not so bad
Just up to the knee
Yes we even plan
to leave the knee joint
Benefit? Oh yes
Of course As we explained
The lower rate for uselessness
..lack of work..lack of willingness
that kind of thing
But now he's in a different League
A Benefactor of The State
A lower leg raises him
from 6th class into 5th
..unless we need the knee as well
..or possibly an eye
He'll hardly miss them Mrs Ellersley
Its not as if he's sporty
- or a scientist - now is it
Yes You'll qualify as well
After all you'll need to nurse him back to health"
