A Robotic Child

Submitted by Dreamsprite on June 19, 2008 - 22:38.

Along my side,
Is my robotic child.
His name is Robert,
And identification key is: 007-46-8224

He serenades in the morning,
and charges at night
With eyes that pulse
Harmless blue.

He cost me a dear penny,
I do say,
Fuels up on petroleum
More frequently than I

Some ask, "Do you love him?"
Why, of course I do!
He does the laundry,
cooks my lunch,
remembers numbers,
and he's not a dunce!

He's quite useful...
Yes yes... my robotic little child.
So perfect and efficient,
There is no need for
one of my own.
