i think
that maybe having a personal
robot
could be a bad idea.
they would makes us even
more lazier
than we already are.
why get up
from the couch, when
the meal
is made,
the dishes done,
the wash
folded and put away.
they could answer the door
and tell
the Fuller Brush Man
that we don't need
anything today.
why pick up
a book
when they can read one
to us without turning a page.
they could
tuck us in at night,
say prayer
for us.
they could mow the lawn,
trim the hedges.
we could send them to
work to do
our jobs,
perhaps, maybe they
could even write us
some poems, as they
keep our house in order.
i think i've changed my mind
on having a robot.
it might be swell
as long as
we keep them charged
and oiled,
and away from water.
