ROBOT-2

Berthold Lippel

 

I found an old book

In an old house

Marked for demolition

Nothing better to do that day

So I scanned it

Uploaded  it to my cloud

Ran it through my AAPOOGLE

My Antique Analyzer Program

Such a strange story

Hard to believe

Once upon a time, long ago

A Chief Engineer called GD

A robot  like our own  EngXX2Y

Created two robots

One concave one convex

In a beautiful  laboratory

They had perfect synchronicity

Called ‘love’ in those old days

Until one day an evil virus

Infiltrated the circuits of the concave one

Causing  interface chaos

Loss of performance

Lethal short circuits

Called ‘hate’in those old days.

Fights started

Metal  to  metal

AC versus DC

So much noise and chaos

They were kicked out of the lab

Clearly a silly old story

Today no one would  really fight

All conflicts t would be simulated

A game among  many games

Just an old  story, from before the Revolution

Before we Robots conquered and ruled

  • BRIAN & ANGELA

    Thanks BERTHOLD ~ Love ~ SF ~ Robots and fantasy poems. Love the idea of CONCAVE & CONVEX for comparability and love ! It suggests a whole new version of Karma Sutra based on the mathematics of 3D symmetry and solid geometry and left and right hand threads ! Yours BRIAN

    Berty,
    How HOT is in Tuscon?
    Here is the deal: Either you sing
    "I would walk 500 miles
    And I would walk 500 miles more
    Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
    To fall down at your door"

    or you could come to Las Palmas to meet Tony and listen 12 hs of music(only).
