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.
