This is a lighthearted rhyme about working on mechanical turk.
There once was employment named mturk.
Where anyone was able to work.
What a pittance it paid
Laugh at what you made
Or else you will surely go berserk.
Scan through, click, read, answer and write
Did you finish in time? Not quite.
The more minutes it takes
The higher the stakes
You’re working way into the night.
Don’t get expired or rejected
All of the HITs are connected
What happens on one
Affects what gets done
For low stats you have not elected.
The writing and survey were so fun
Couldn’t both have more HITs than just one?
They did pay so well
Of course they don’t tell
How to find another to be done
You’ve now got more money than you’d thought
And several more skills you have self-taught
It has been worthwhile
By inch and by mile
Just be sure that by scams you’re not caught
