The joint-project Govt-CIA plan,

aka “Project Teachers Strike Inc”,

Today worked a treat.

It went off without a hitch.

It went like this:

All Teachers On the streets.

Hurricane winds a-brewin’.

Their oversize placards act as sails.

Teachers Lift off en-masse!

Off & Into the Tasman sea!.

Never to be seen again.

AI Robo-Teacher policy engaged!

Well played, I’d have to say.

We’re all better off without ’em.

& we know the Teachbots will kill it.

And so when the winds died down – the dust did settle.

And all through the land,

The citizenry did murmer to each other.

In ‘enwizened’ hushed tones:

“Long live the Govt-CIA joint-project…

For it rid us of the teachers…

They were an insane & greedy lot…

Hazaar to the Teachbots…

For they’re highly likely..

To have actually read a book…“

And Sure – they still might one day run amok…

But It’ll still be a damn site cheaper!…
