Artificial soul Made to fill the hole Of a loved one not yet met Addressed by name Every user, all the same Coded into its factory made brain No physical love This fits like a glove For the super busy boppers It can read you a story No guts, no glory Emotionless, portrayed in monotone And then it hits That dreaded blip Time to speak to a human... Have you tried turning it off and on again? JJB
