Poem

A robot known as Robbie
Well he came to stay at home with me
And during his vacation
He began to show frustration

For he saw to his dismay 
Piles of dust hidden away
Beneath the beds 
   Beneath the chairs
      Beneath the tables too
Most probably had been there 
Since nineteen seventy two
For that is when I read a quote
By English writer and raconteur 
Quentin Crisp that was his name
Of ‘Naked Civil Servant’ fame
He said that after just four years
One never needs to dust again

At the touch of a button dear Robbie woke up
For this was his signal to suck up my muck

Such an innovation
A mind blowing creation
Having a Robbie at my beck and call
He is so obliging 
with the service he’s providing
No matter the hour 
when his name I call
Loving to clean 
never minding at all
All the dust and the mites 
well he sucks them all up
then into his truck
he empties my muck

Returning to his docking station
there was no sign of jubilation
I began to wonder
I began to ponder
Has he a life somewhere out yonder
For dust is dust it's always there 
and surely always will be
I called his name he came to me
and through my door 
set Robbie free ~~~~~           


Written – tongue in cheek - on 13th August 2020 
after a friend lent me her robot cleaner…
