Time for a Serious Poem

It's time for a serious poem So I can truly show 'em That I've mastered metaphor simile, prosaic petit fours ... I'll pull out all the stops rhyme and meter, extra hops Brew up such a batch of phraseology as befits an epic of eschatology ... My vocabulary will absolutely astound you as to the heights it soars and leaps-'n'-bounds you And as for opaque literary allusions why, there will be multitudinous profusions ... But if all this still does not pass critical muster ~ I'll hire AI to adjust her

I have this argument with my son daily. I would rather read an imperfect poem written by a human. AI might have perfect form, but can never have the heart and soul.

how witty and creative you are, Gershon! Seems like I saw a bit of alliteration in your words :-) Anway, I loved this, especially the ending--a solemn statement of the reality of AI...a reality I don't particularly care for. Thanks for sharing your creative prowess! :-) smiles, Sara PS faving!
