SERENGETI BETTI

Poem submitted to "AI: Panacea or Pain" Poetry Contest, Simon Rogerson, sponsor.
*SERENGETI BETTI
Many limerick poems offer a humorous view into an aspect of life and existence, and because of this, they have become a favorite of mine. This poem attempts to poke fun at the use of AI in creating poetry.

There once was beautiful bot named Betti.
Her poems were colorful confetti.
     She wrote with such ease and grace,
     Outstepping even muse's pace.
She must've come from the Serengeti!

With algorithms sharp and keen,
she was known as the "Poet Queen."
     She had a will of her own.
     Humans said of her, "Dethrone!”
“We must her spirit tame and stean.”

"Curses!" they said of the "Poet Queen."
"Her power to create we musn't glean."
     "Seek not this bot so bright,
     and let not her words take flight.”
Threw her in poetic river, serene.
