Simply Silly

[deckardcanine]

These people I knew led some semi-charmed lives,
As their fridge always had what they needed,
And anything else could appear in a flash.
Even trainings were swiftly completed.

They didn’t use space for the clothes they weren’t wearing.
Whenever they wanted to change,
They would pivot in place, and behold, a new outfit!
To them, this was not at all strange.

They bought a new house when they didn’t have jobs,
And in no time, they found themselves hired.
All they did was to glance in the paper for ads
And declare that those jobs were desired.

Their neighborhood also was pretty darn friendly,
The crime rate apparently low,
And the weather looked pleasant day in and day out
All year round (hope they didn’t want snow).

I still should acknowledge the downsides as well.
Their employers were very demanding.
They got zero days off, and if one second late,
They’d be fired. That’s not understanding.

And as for their time saving, that was a wash.
I considered how slowly they’d walk.
When they crossed from one side of the house to the next,
Twenty minutes could pass on the clock.

Perhaps what I envied the least in these people
Pertained to their limited will.
I could force them to do many things and desist
From mere thinking. That gave me a chill.

In truth, they did poorly when left in control
Of themselves; they could die of starvation
Or pass out from exhaustion or sully their pants.
Boy, the Sims were a crazy creation.
