Bot Trip Treet

I don’t want to call you my grandmother. You appear human, You are just a machine, programmed to act like nana. Electric flows through you, not blood. Brother and sister love you. I don’t. Based on the short story “I Sing the Body Electric” by Ray Bradbury Robert Pettit

That's an amusing anagram of your name, Robert. If you had a grandmother who didn't show affection to you, I'm very sorry. Most of us seem to have been blessed with loving grandmothers. Also like the way you base your poems on works by well-known authors. Nice touch! Wishing you success in the contest. Love, Ids Nerve Oh
