See, Saw, Marjorie Daw

See, saw, U.S. jobs went offshore,
Margie shall have no task master.
She shall get not a penny in pay,
'Cause Chinese work so much faster.

Flim, flam, George didn't give a damn,
That Jimmy can't work under NAFTA.
He cannot say why his job went away,
Big Business lived happily ever after.

William's Whimsical Words:

It is easy to be sanguine about outsourcing, until it costs you your job.
