[ NaPo 2017 ] Crack Goes The Whip

    
She cracks the laser whip    
within nano-fractons of slicing off    
the tip of my data entry device    
   
Not very nice of her    
is it, Precious?    
Not very nice at all    
   
[ I was programmed by    
a Tolkien nerd ]    
   
Some people shouldn't be    
allowed to own droids    
especially this one    
who insists that I call her    
"Master"    
   
and write verse for humans    
who are quite illogical    
if not downright absurd    
   
It is National Poetry Month    
here on Jupiter in the year    
3017, but I keep telling her    
I can't compose poetry any faster    
   
She insists that if I don't, I'll be
entered into another competition  
known as Battle Bots, reducing
robots into metal scrappy bits    
   
as opposed to breaking human
spirits
