Gort is in Session



From the skies comes this chap who destroys
Lifts his visor and...Zap! Look out, boys!
All your tanks and your rifles
Quite frankly, are trifles
Which he fries like cheap scrap metal toys.

Gort the robot disintegrates the soldiers' weapons in The Day the Earth Stood Still (Robert Wise; 1951). Donald Benson thort up the title.
