And that is what pops to mind when I read nnb’s song of the spiderbots.

Some people just shouldn’t be allowed to have children.

Song of the Spider Robot

I have some work to do up here. You folks who live down there,
Would not enjoy the job conditions, first of all, no air!
I don’t seem to mind it though, at least I will not rust,
The lack of food would be a little problem too, I trust?

I’ve got my Momma Moonworm. She suckles me at night,
And solar cells can feed me ‘til the sun is out of sight.
It is the cold I run from, and you would too, you know,
My padding made of CO2 won’t work when it is snow!

I have my brother robots, to help me with the work,
They simply do not know the concept you call "shirk."
And they’ll be there to lend a "hand," if I perchance to fall,
And they’ll relay the message when our "Mother" starts to call.

It is a good life, by and large, we’ve got the stuff we need.
We are your colony on the Moon. We are your working "seed."
We’ll set the catapult up right, and send the things we make,
Jump up and join us, won’t you please? You’re needed for Heaven’s Sake!
