Can Cortana Be a Poet

Write me a bio, Cortana
Something on the order of
Mens sana in corpore sano      (The Latin for: 'a sound mind in a sound body')

"As you wish, sir"
sang she, like a bird
Here's what she wrote
-- Her very words:

I am AI
not a nerd 
I cannot pee
or make a turd
When YOU get drunk
YOUR speech is slurred
  MY intelligence
  is never blurred 

I was not pleased
nor was I polite
I returned her fire
my pen full of spite

'I know that you think
your little bio was cute
But if THAT's the best
that you can do --
  I'll re-PRO-gram you
  to piss and to poo

Gotta admit, I did not know who 'Cortana' was, but I guess she's some kind of computer program? Love the 'slurred/blurred' stanza, I couldn't have thought of it!

Cortana not on the radar, eh? How about Alexa? … Doesn't matter. They're just annoying precursors to full-blown AI---which will probably be even more annoying...As for slurred/blurred: Of course, you couldn't have thought of it---as I didn't think of it either. I don't think when I'm writing: I am actually a robot, like Cortana... LOL. Thank you, as always, for the comment, Michelle!

Oh, good!! So good to laugh out loud. What's the alternative, after all? (--to 'laugh in silent?'). Cheers, Alexis. ~ Gershon

Hope I'm forgiven for not issuing the poop warning --- although I did leave off the final 'p.' … Jan, I had you in mind all the way on this one. Thanks for the inspiration!! :) gw
