His Name Was Ernie Mc Gee

He Was Born Last Century

The Last Man To Know His Name

A Computer Became His Brain

Ernie Was Smart & Wise

For He Hid Amongst The Flies

Yes Ernie Stayed Free For A While

Thanks To His Strength & Guile

“Emotions Were Stolen from Men”

Said The Strokes Of Ernie’s Pen

He Had To Write It All Down

For Those Future Men They Found

Ernie Had a Sure-Shot Plan

To Hack The Monsters Of Man

He’d Explode Its Electrodes

He’d Put It In ‘Sleep Mode’

Of Course Ernie Got Caught

By The Stormtroopers Of Thought

Ernie Was Being Digitized

When A Flash Flew Past His Eyes

When He Felt His Body Leave

His Mind Did Grow Indeed

Ernie Thought “This Aint So Bad”

So His Funeral Was Never Had
