I Want to Be a Clone

Ranked #33,425 in Entertainment, #420,260 overall | Donates to Squidoo Charity Fund

Technically - I NEED to be a Clone...

No, no, no! I don't mean what you are thinking; please - don't bombard me with the downsides of cloning. Basically, I do not think it should be done. I believe we are tinkering around with our Creator's handiwork - BUT - just think about it. Have you ever considered how much more productive you could be, if there were 2 of you...or 3...or more? Lord, help my husband, but...I want to be a clone!

Wouldn't it be nice to devote ONE of you to simply loving and interacting with your family? What a pleasure! Just imagine what you could do!

~ The Family Clone ~

One of me to spend time with my husband and our family. What bliss! Oh, this clone is essential. There never seems to be enough time, to spend with our tribe, and the urgent frequently crowds out the important, doesn't it?

What an absolute joy it would be, to have the time to visit with each and every member of our huge family - to catch up on what is going on in their lives, and dawdle the youngest grandchildren on our knees. To go fishing, and hiking, and swimming, and bowling - or just to watch a movie together, and roast marshmallows over the fire.

How quickly they grow, how rapidly they are out on their own - and we are left puzzled as to how it all happened so fast. There "oughta" be a law, to prohibit so many distractions from controlling our limited time and energy. I think I'll get on that, right away!

~ The Phone Clone ~

Oh, yes! One clone to handle the phone - I have to opt for that one. At my businesses, it seems that everyone wants to talk to the boss. The "boss" - that's me, is busy most of the time. This clone will be a tremendous asset, and will free me up, immensely!

I might even be able to have a normal conversation with some of the members of my family - there's a novel thought! My third son, Matthew, keeps telling me - "Mom, your last name is not 'busy', you know! Everytime I call, you say - 'Busy!' You are always busy".

He's right...I DO say that, and he's right, I am!

~ The Boss Clone ~

type=textWell, it's about time! I don't have to make all of the decisions anymore. The Boss Clone will do it all for me. Yea!

I shall "disconnect" every part of the Boss Clone's brain, that has the ability to be distracted. I will simply install a little "circuit breaker", technically called a "distraction disconnection". Other than that function, everything else can remain in place.

No more decisions - on what to buy, what to design, what to grow, or what to promote. I'll have the Boss Clone answer all of the emails, and open the mail, and pay the bills - from money that the Boss Clone generates, and plant the seeds, and generate the advertising, and...this list could go on for a long, long, time!

~ The Home Clone ~

The clone for the home is going to clean every corner, every cranny, every nook, every book. She'll clean and organize the place, and then, I'll have a lot more space. Her work will not be finished, 'til my home is neat and clean. My home will frankly scream with shine, the look will be "pristine". And then, when she has finished, I'll have her start again - my home will be in tip-top shape - as it has NEVER been!

~ The Traveling Clone ~

I just LOVE to travel! Oh, for just one of me, to do only that! I could see my daughter, who is a missionary in Israel, frequently. I could see my son, in Texas, too! Whoever asked them to move out of the area, anyway?

To see the Nile, and the castles in Austria, England, Germany, Switzerland - and the Grand Canyon. I would love to see "Old Faithful", the geyser, and New York City again, covered with snow. If I only had a Traveling Clone - I could do all of that, and more!

~ The Vintage Car Clone ~

Oh, the "gangstermobiles"! I just LOVE them, and greatly desire to own one, someday. I just drool over my monthly Hemmings magazine, and have enjoyed it, for years!

To have a clone to visit all of the big old cars for sale - to quote Audrey Hepburn - oh, wouldn't that be "loverly"? I happen to like the look portrayed here, but a Duesenberg or an old Rolls Royce would suit me just fine. Shoot, I'd even take an old Pierce Arrow --- if I had the time to look around. I'd have to have a "hot-rod", in tones of black and gray - and take it on the interstate, and drive, and drive - all day!

~ The Research Clone ~

All right! I admit it. What I really am, deep down inside...is a researcher. The Research Clone can spend it's every waking hour, in libraries, all over the country - to read and research every single thing I'd like to know. Oh, to be free to read! My clone will find places I'd like to discover, fill its brain with secrets I'd like to uncover, find out how to do a plethora of things, it would read about chemistry, nature and kings.

A speed reading researching clone she would be. Her first task? Our unabridged dictionary...
She'd read thousands of books, in my own library; cross-reference, and check them, for accuracy.
Then, digest them completely; report back to me - what a way to get knowledge! Don't you agree?
Think about that - what bliss it would be! Would it free up my time? INDUBITABLY!

~ The Worship Clone ~

One of me who does nothing else but praise and worship God, our Creator - for the magnificent things He has done; oh, the Worship Clone is a must!

When my eyes behold the heavens,
When I hear the thunder roar.
When I witness birth, or see the Earth,
I thrill to praise Him more!

Oh, to have the time, to properly return thanks, for the splendor of His handiwork...

~ The Granny Clone ~

I need to have a Granny Clone to be with all of my dearly beloved grandchildren - the mulitudinous offspring of some of this bunch of mine. Actually, two of them are not even in the photo. Oh, I just have to be cloned for exclusive interaction with my children's children! Most of them live close by, but I hardly get a chance to see them. That ought to be a crime punishable by death.

To work so hard, for so many years, to support a family - and THEN, to have them grow up, go out on their own and have families of their own - that I don't seem to have time to enjoy...

What a revolting development! With the Granny Clone, my grandchildren will get a chance to see their "Granny", as I am affectionately known.

~ The Author Clone ~

One of me, just to write...yes, I definitely need to have an Author Clone. Instead of hastily scribbling notes down on anything that will allow me to write on it, my Author Clone can be available 24 hours a day, to write down whatever pops into my head, and publish it!

I've already decided - this clone is a must! My fingers can take a break, my pens will last, my pencils will stay sharp, and the Author Clone can take up the slack.

At Long Last - Freedom! ~

Or...IS it?

At last, all of my clones are in place! Now, I can FINALLY find the time to do the things that I enjoy. I'll have plenty of time to spend with my family, and read, and research, and run the businesses, and plant my trees, and converse on the phone, and travel the world...

~~~ NOW - WAIT - JUST A DOGGONE MINUTE! ~~~

I have just talked myself out of a job, haven't I? If my clones take over all of my obligations - every task I have set myself to do - every conversation I might like to have - visiting every place I'd like to travel - seeing all of the people I'd like to see - and doing whatever else I can exploit my clones to do --- I will become perfectly useless and unnecessary.

DISREGARD THIS LENS...

~ Clone Poll ~

Can you not see the benefits?

No, I don't think God made a mistake. Being a unique individual is an incredible experience. But, can't you see how much more each one of us might accomplish?

The Song That Got Me Thinking...

Back in the 80's!

My sons used to love Steve Taylor's songs, back in the late 1980's, and my entire family really enjoys his work. His song - "I Want To Be A Clone" made me think, a great deal, about how "clonish" different cultures, religions, and societies can be. Rather than think for themselves, they prefer to act like those around them. Refusing to do their own research or take responsibility for their own actions; they literally act like "clones" of those around them. You are certain to enjoy his music, all of it. Some of his work is very intense, and will cause you to reflect, as I did in this Lens, on what is really important in life!

We have included cassette tapes, CD's, and.....?

    I definitely need a clone!
    This being said, I hope that you'll reserve your next trip abroad to Belgium so that we can meet!
    Excellent work here!

    Yes. I need many more of me. I'm not sure that the world does though. Ta haa haa

    Oh, yes it does! On Squidoo, anyway!

    It would be nice to be able to get more done with each day!!!

    This is a very entertaining read, and while it comes across as light-hearted, it also asks a bigger question about priorities. Very interesting!

    I'm so glad you liked it, and you are correct. It does put things sort-of into perspective, doesn't it? All of the different "hats" we wear are, in the scheme of things - us.
