There was a young lady named Gale
Who swung from the pub’s curtain rail.
When they said, “you are strange!”.
She said, “in yonder old grange,
We all swing and drink strong ale!”.

Has gone and bought a robot girlfriend.
She is extremely pretty
And really quite witty,
So she is quite unlike my friend!

Soon must go.
And spring birds sing
Over tombs.

With the cream of the literati,
Some random old guy
Said, “I’m an AI!”.
And cyborgs danced at that party.

People passed
Me on the churchyard path,

So oft,
Caught in my passing thoughts,

To wash all who pass
Along this fleeting path.

They talk of all-powerful AI.
Perhaps this is Sci-Fi.
Or maybe it is true.

Will surely die,
Unless we
Achieve immortality,
And perhaps live on
After the body is gone
In virtual reality.
But would that be
You and me?

Oft flows great art,
And behind sunlight
Oft hides night.

Who walked around wearing nothing but tiles.
When he fell with a crash,
All the tiles they went smash,
And the girls wore very big smiles …!
Gale the Blackmailer
There was a young lady named Gale
Who made all her money through blackmail.
When she blackmailed Lee
While out at sea
It ended in a large killer whale …
When a Young Lady Known as Hurd
When a young lady known as Hurd
Went and used a very bad word,
A vicar called Hocking
Said, “that is shocking!
But do cover me in lemon curd …”.
