I once made a robot
I once made a robot of metal and bolts
and wires for handling millions of volts
with circuits for thinking, and sprockets, of course,
with gears for converting centripetal force.I welded and molded and tinkered and toiled.
I made sure its axles were properly oiled,
And when I’d perfected each segment and part
I mashed on its shiny green button marked “START”…A bonk and a beep and a twerk and a jerk,
and somewhat surprising, it really DID work!
The greatest contraption I ever have made:
a robot for squeezing me fresh lemonade.
Special mention goes to Anne Campbell for recommending “Centripetal Force.” While I acknowledge that I may have fudged on the engineering, it worked well.
Another special mention goes to Sudie Ammerman for suggesting word-of-the-moment “twerk” to go in as well. She suggested it as a joke, but no sooner had she said it than this idea came to mind. I’m glad I could make it work.
