It Takes a Robot
When the veil of time is lifted, you will see
that we’ve entered the year 2053
there’s a robot who will answer your door
who’s cheerful, delightful and so much more!
He’ll escort guests to comfortable seats
offer a variety of delectable treats
he’ll cook any fine food you could think
or mix any imaginable drink.
He’s attractive and impeccably dressed
looks more human than most of his guests!
Never tires, moans or complains
works harder than most could ever attain.
Efficient is he with all of his tasks
knows all manner of subjects you ask
he’s as smart as a whip, you will soon see
that he makes excellent company.
These “bots” are so perfect, in fact
that they know everything we humans lack
except on occasions, when it seems that they
start to question the very things that we say.
And then there’s those times
when they secretly meet
unbeknownst to us, and plot to defeat
humankind, in their brainiac way
a diabolical plan to foray.
So beware, when your robot retreats
to the place where they gather and meet
for you never can know, til you have heard
“bots” proclaim, “Let’s take over planet earth!”
