The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."

As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Stan Stan the Robot Man

Man and machine, machine and man,
especially this, my servant Stan -
artificial intelligence is his pride,
incompetence is his talent wide.

Oh, he does the work, I’ll not deny,
but useless on the reasons why
the sky is blue or cows go moo -
a conversationalist he will not do.



Line count: 8

For Express It In Eight, 10.29.25
Prompt: Write a poem about your new, disobeying robot.
