ALEXA PART THREE

  ALEXA PART THREE  (The Tormented Trilogy)

By Peter Woodgate

OK Alexa, we’ve come to the crunch,

It’s cards on the table, I guess,

I’m sorry that I pulled out the plug

And left things in such a mess.

I realise now that you are AI,

Despite that beguiling voice,

My wife is real, with human traits,

Despite that, she is my choice.

It’s easy, you see, to forget real love

And things that are taken for granted,

We both have our moments, as humans,

But, in our heads, it is planted.

We love each other, through thick or thin,

And despite the ups and the downs,

We can be silly, especially me,

Consequently, we act like clowns.

So, thanks for declining my proposal,

My mind was in such a muddle,

I realise now what a fool I’ve been

We would never have had a kiss or cuddle.
