If Robots Could Feel Depression

A system error

Fatally flaw

In logical thinking.

Batteries depleted

Unable to move

At all.

Systems shutting down

In vain attempt

To preserve

Unit's operating capacity.

Losing data

As corrupt memories files

Replace untainted ones

From a second ago

Disappearing

Without a trace.

Rampant flowing

Of vital fluids

From optical orifices

At a moment's notice

For illogical reasons.

As the O/S seeks

To isolate unit

From the main frame.

A preventive measure

To stop

Any further spread

Of this virus programme.

Until unit

Can be restored

At full operating

Capacity.

New Program installed - Illuminate 1.0 (the ultimate OS)
System check - ok
Battery check - ok
Memory check - ok
Peripherals check - ok

- all viruses removed and dumped unceremoniously in the s**t-pile

Love this T.

Thanks, Anto. Think, I was channeling, my "inner Anto", when I wrote this poem.

[ANTO]

Hah ! - "inner Anto" - now I am seriously worried about you.

[therisa]

Join the crowd, Anto. Hope you don't mind long ques.

[ANTO]

Aww - you know we all worry about each other - theres queues all over this shop
Queues - I never thought to hear that word on here from one of my friends from across the Atlantic - I thought you guys did 'lines' (oops - that could be inflammatory lol)

[therisa]

But Canadians do use the Queen's English, Anto, just more accented than you, Brits.

[ANTO]

And we Irish use it too lol.

[therisa]

Oops, sorry, to toss you, into the lot of Brits, Anto. ;P

[ANTO]
