21st Century Offspring

Almost a child herself, how will she cope?
Until now everything had labels, expiry dates,
do’s and don’ts, helpful hints, arrow pointing ‘UP’.
But this one was delivered not even marked ‘FRAGILE’.
What will she do?   She’ll have to start by giving it a name.

David, with AI everything will become more efficient. In future instructions will be tatooed on their bums. Thanks for spending time on my patch.
