Batteries Not Included

“Batteries not included,” She said. Which seemed obvious to me; Maybe a reason she was unwed, I mean how laconic can one be? Till to wind her up you know I thought, Without them batteries knowing; And yes a charge so I got As I tried to get her going. Maybe I could plug her in And she would get a tiny boost; All I hoped for was a simple grin, And so it was, her I goosed. Yeah, old batteries not included, man, Suddenly seemed much more sunny; A good goose and here I am, Living with the Energizer Bunny.
