My Robot Friend
It tells me what the weather’s like
It brings me a thirst-quenching drink
It's a walking general knowledge quiz
It cleans my dirty sink.
It remembers all my family's birthdays
When my gas bill needs to be renewed
It waters all my garden roses
It cooks me al-la-carte food
It’s like a walking diary
It really is top notch
It’s got all the bells and whistles
And it’s battery goes non stop
It really is so helpful
It does everything for me
I don’t ever have a lift a finger
Or make a cup of tea.
I probably should not rely on it
It sort of rules my house
When I have my back turned
It goes as quiet as a mouse
One day it malfunctioned
While at the kitchen sink
It started throwing knives around
His cogs were on the brink
I really should get my money back
I could have nearly died
It tried to stab me in the heart
Before its motherboard went and fried.
