The Talking Machine woke me
the Talking Machine spoke ,
I tried to listen
but couldn’t understand ,
so the Talking Machine spoke louder ;
” Those things at the end of your arms ,
I have need of your hands ” ,
Then the Talking Machine issued its directives ;
so that I might clean it , polish it ,
refurbish , strengthen and enhance it ;
The Talking Machine asked if I had
any further questions and if I had fully
understood what it required of me ;
Then the thought occurred late in my head ,
I went to the socket ,pulled the plug
and returned to bed .
