“Oh, the Ringworld is Unstable / But It Won’t Be Shown on Cable…*”

…Bezos optioned up this fable
And that’s good enough for me!

Gimme that old-time space opera
Gimme that old-time space opera
Gimme that old-time space opera
On Amazon TV.

Coming Soon has got the news-flash
Amazon shelled out the hard cash —
And they also optioned Snow Crash!
Wow! That’s good enough for me!

Gimme that old-time near future
Gimme that old-time near future
Gimme that old-time near future
On Amazon TV.

I cannot believe my good luck
That these TV deals have been struck —
So Lord, please, let them not suck
On my Amazon TV.

Gimme those old-time adaptions
Gimme those old-time adaptions
Gimme those old-time adaptions
On my Amazon TV.
