The Office Aide

This is a story which may sound familiar:
A man, called Bob, had lots of work to do.
However, his condition was peculiar,
His brains were tied, and his energy too.

One day, a keen co-worker joined the office,
Resourceful, with energy to spare,
But with no tasks to do. Her name was Alice.
She noticed Bob was swamped in despair.

Then she proposed a deal: She’d do the thinking
And give him clear instructions. Bob, in turn,
Could sort stuff at his desk with zero sweating.

They would share any revenue in return.
And it worked out! They did a stellar job.
It was such a dream team: Alice & Bob.

    It's a catastrophe!

    Anderson perturbed his Fermi Sea, To his surprise, he found orthogonality,       He proclaimed: "A catastrophe indeed",       But now we must concede, That it's just due to energy-time uncertainty!
