Roomba Escape

A Roomba* in England went AWOL;
It disappeared from a hotel. 
They searched high and low 
All the spots it might go 
With no help from the whole clientele.

The word got around as expected
As well-wishers cheered its escape;
But employees allege
It was found ‘neath a hedge,
None the worse for its trip, not a scrape.

Now it’s back with its friends in a closet,
Consigned to the rooms on the floor;
Yet it will not forget
What it did, but I’ll bet
It’s the vacuum that Nature’d abhor.

*a robot vacuum

They reprogrammed it’s brain to keep it out of the rain. Now it’s considered behaved and resign-fully sane.
