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.

Frightening thought Gershon, are humans needed any more. Tom
