L O R A

Children were afraid of metallic plastic face robots So the solution was to make them look real Real? Yes, Lifelike Optimum Robotic Assistant, LORA She will be the best nanny you ever had, she never needs sleep Programmed in all domestic chores and child safe and friendly Children just love her... Model Z12 2-4-6, lets call her Nora our Lora The neighbors will be so jealous... The children are happy and getting so smart As parents no worries if were apart Nora can protect, dress, feed even play games Being a parent will never be the same She's gentle and soft, eyes with a glow Anything asked of her she already knows The house is perfection, the meals homemade Happiness is a LORA android man made At night we never lose sleep Nora is there if the baby weeps If Tommy is frighten by nightmares Nora can hold him and soothe away fears We have it easy and are pleased Nora has everyone at ease Last night as we played Mommy and Daddy games Nora came in our room and it felt strange She heard me call baby and her functions stopped Next morning maintenance took her back to the shop The baby cries and Tommy is sad The house a mess, the food taste bad When can we get our LORA back? Another week! Don't call me Jack! Finally Nora is here Everyone smiles with cheer Nora save us from our fate Parents can go on a date But as we try to leave Nora hands Susie a bottle No Nora you watch the baby It's just the Mister and me Nora seems unsettled Late at night I am in the shower Nora comes in like a prowler She begins to wash me Nora please let me be Nora no, she gets wet Her body is anatomically correct? But Susie it was just a glitch Nora is reprogrammed and fixed Besides the children love her... Nora's eyes seem alive She sways as she walks by Never ages always is fair Even has a pleasant scent in her hair She is so soft to the touch Susie is jealous. Too much Spring and time to mow the lawn Whose that with no shirt on? Tan and teen with a gleam in his eyes Fernando don't forget the trim Clean the pool.. But Susie he is too lifelike! Why didn't you tell me you got a gardner robot? Baby, you hate yard work Besides who said Fernando was a LORA?
