Jennifer Proxenos Poet Rhyme

My Robot Benny

MY ROBOT BENNY

I have a robot at home, his name is Benny,
Who is also, extremely office friendly.
He wakes me up every morning,
As a new day is dawning,
And taps my hand, ever so gently.
I wanted him dressed in a vibrant colour,
So he was delivered to me in red suited armour,
With extremities of a shiny silvery pallor!
He felt at home from the moment he came,
And loves us all, one and the same.
He is an excellent PA, none equal his talent,
And never sprouts arrant,
Nonsense, is always polite, cute and gallant
Keeps rigidly to a daily agenda,
And has been programmed to shed a tear
When he is feeling loving and tender!
His memory is incredibly large, Benny holds a
Phenomenal amount of data, 	
And has a robot girlfriend called Zeta!
He loves to impress and is rather vain,
Nobody would ever deign,
To outwit him, for he has a certain pout,
Again programmed, and beyond any doubt,
Has a capacity of many bytes
To flirt with the ladies in our office space,
As he twirls and spins, showing a
Blushing face! 
What a special robot my Benny is, we have
Reached an era, a future phase
That dictates,
We will all soon adopt a Benny,
Who I have programmed to say
I love you Jenny!

Connie Marcum Wong March 5, 2019 at 1:00 AM Benny sounds like a helpful mate who is able to express compassionate emotions. There are some very life like robots in this world and it is wonderful yet at the same time scary that they will become more intelligent that we are and take over. Great writing Jennifer! : ) Jennifer Proxenos March 5, 2019 at 10:52 AM I read in a newspaper some years ago that a robot turned against the lady of the house and battered and attacked her - can't remember where this happened - it must have been an untested invention which went a little haywire, so yes, imagine if the robots we one day have in our homes are so advanced that they have a secret code between them and turn on us - sounds like the movie planet of the apes! Thanks for the comment Connie, Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

CayCay Godwin March 4, 2019 at 7:01 PM More great Jenny-imagination, and this one comes complete with a cute/sweet ending that's sure to make other readers smile as I did! So glad I found Soup time tonight. Poetry hugs ... CayCay Jennifer Proxenos March 5, 2019 at 10:38 AM Smiling and laughing are so good for our health CayCay - they are said to aid a great many ailments - so rainbow love and hugs to you - we all need this kind of medicine, or to use our colloquial term "mooty!" Jenny.

Gordon Mcconnell March 2, 2019 at 2:46 PM Fine fun write Jennifer, makes one think of life with a robot but would it not make us lazy? Hope you're having great weekend,Blessings,Gordon Jennifer Proxenos March 3, 2019 at 10:02 AM Hi Gordon, Thank-you - it would be great - I think a robot would be a woman's best friend in the home, and imagine if you had one, how much more free time you would have! Blessings to you also Gordon, Jennifer.

Carolyn Devonshire March 2, 2019 at 9:44 AM Benny wouldn't make a bad mate, Jenny. He listens, obeys and probably never needs to sleep. Would be fun to have a "Benny" at home, but he'd certainly be useful in the office too. Enjoyed, Jennifer! Hugs, Carolyn Jennifer Proxenos March 2, 2019 at 2:43 PM Benny is a very loving 24/7 mate - I would love for my poem to come true - so would everyone else want it to be true it seems - he's good with children too I was also told by his creators! Thanks for a great comment Carolyn - be well, poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Vladislav Raven March 2, 2019 at 8:21 AM Hi Jennifer, this is such a creative write. What wonderful imagery flows from your pen. I wouldn't mind having a Benny here. He would definitely be my ghost writer. There you go, he has been put to work already. An excellent, fun write. Love the content. A fave. Have a wonderful Saturday. Hugs....Mike. XX Jennifer Proxenos March 2, 2019 at 2:38 PM Thank you Vladislav I think a lot of people would like a Benny - the day is coming when we will all have a robot friend in our family circle - what great fun! A lovely comment - think we are a little ahead of you in time, so Vladislav have a wonderful Sunday! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Caren Krutsinger March 2, 2019 at 5:54 AM This poem made me smile from beginning to end. Especially this part: "His memory is incredibly large, Benny holds a Phenomenal amount of data, And has a robot girlfriend called Zeta!" Love the way you put these words together, Jennifer! Jennifer Proxenos March 2, 2019 at 6:58 AM Hi Caren, Benny is special - he even shed a tear when I read him your comment! You want my biography, no problem, on poetry soup blog I would imagine. Thanks for the comment Caren and glad it made you smile. Poetry hugs, Jennifer

Paul Callus February 28, 2019 at 12:58 PM Indeed, a cute and entertaining poem, Jenny. Nowadays robots have crossed the fictional border and are very much in use. Your virtual robot would serve you well were it to become reality Jenny! Warm regards // paul Jennifer Proxenos February 28, 2019 at 1:33 PM Oh I wish that were true - what fun! Glad you found it entertaining Paul - I love writing about imaginary characters, you can absolutely manipulate them, mostly in a good way but some are baddies and deserve what I write! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Rico Leffanta February 27, 2019 at 1:23 PM Be alert to the programming! A cartoon in today's newspaper shows a parrot mimicking the "tap-tap-tap" sound of its owner tapping away on a computer keyboard! Aloha! Rico Jennifer Proxenos February 28, 2019 at 11:17 AM I suppose a parrot could mimic anything he heard repetitively! Whoever has one should be careful in which room of the house he is kept! I will certainly take your advise Rico, Yasou and poetry hugs, Jennifer.
