The Future Is Here

The future is here
    AI is its name
  It too is concerned
    with the gender game

  A feminine name 
    like Alexa or Cortana
  does not pull its weight
    in the state of Montana
  
  While masculine names
    like Harley or Hal
  too easily become 
    'good old boy pals' ...

  So when selecting a name
    I hereby recommend
  Pick one as neutral as possible
    ~ like 'Vulture' or 'Turpentine'

Ha, ha! Moon Unit got zapped by her father there, didn't she. What was her sibling's name? Something like 'Dweazel,' if I remember correctly. Imagine having such a name! Spare me! :) gw

LOL!! Well at least my name is neutral. But I am totally a woman inside out, upside down, top to bottom, sideways, and everything else a woman is naturally born with. Okay, I think I clarify it well enough. Lol! Good one, Gershon. :)
