The Wind Laughs In A Tree

The wind laughs in a tree.
And as for me
I think on my poetry

When a young lady who’s name is Ling

When a young lady who’s name is Ling

Invited me to swing

I asked my friend Lou

To join in too

But it really wasn’t her thing …

There was a young lady called Michelle

There was a young lady called Michelle
Who entered that placed named hell,
But being extremely rude
And more than crude
The devil did Michelle expel.

When a journalist by the name of Lee

Wrote a story about me

I threatened to sue

But my lawyer, named Lou

Why AI won’t work. Probably.

While one can never say never, I think that Matthew may well be correct.

Matthew Wright

One of the main tropes of science fiction has to be the self-aware robot or computer – one mobile, the other not, but both presented as self-aware and able to think as we do, although often better.

I think, therefore I am a slide rule.

Who wrote a book all about glue.

It was a tome most vast
