Behold, the modern Sisyphus.
Long ago he traded his stone
for two, smaller and easier to carry.
But why stop there?
Shouldn’t the weight be equally distributed?
So now he carries his fortune
of pebbles in sacks around his neck
and makeshift pockets.
The future, ladies and gentlemen.
We have wonderful devices to
make our lives easier--
see his fashionable goat-skin?
See how he can carry the gravel so easily,
and throw it by the handful--
with both hands, even!
His burden can be yours,
just bring your shekels,
your wicked avarice,
and you too can have a life of ease and comfort!
