A Clever Robot
He has created a clever robot
He orders it and it responds
“Write for me a poem”, it does
“Compose for me love letter”, it does
“Scribble for me an abuse”, it does
Clever and obedient the robot is
But one thing it cannot do
Feel emotions as human beings
The clever robot the merchant abused
“You are foolish”, it replies, “Thank you”
“You’re a baboon”, it replies, “Thank you”
“You’re a nothing”, it replies, “Thank you”
Clever and obedient the robot is
But one thing it cannot achieve-
Feel emotions as human beings
That day man will make a robot
One that can feel emotional
The one with personality traits
Humans will hide in wardrobes
