Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for February 12, 2022

She’s non-binary.

But gotta love the imagery.

Depends on your endianness.

They aren’t using the same word size.

“Of course it do not. It just make cold logic. We is robots, yes? Beep boop!”

He bit too much, now he can’t eschew.

It’s haiku

Besides the lack of rhyme, the poem was too long (short and sweet is so much better) …

… and in the end it was odd.

I have that problem with modern poetry too!

At least he didn’t say, “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. One one thousand. Two one thousand.”

Are they bi-nary?

No wonder she didn’t like the poem, the delivery was too robotic.

If you want to turn her on, just push her button! That’s what it’s there for…

He thought free verse would be more meaningful.

Roses are red, violets are blue, I’d like to get, in bed with you. Simple.

It would normally sound better, but he has a code.

Love it!!

Hexadecimal is so much more expressive, and the soul of brevity.

I just realized…the one of the left looks like Marvin from “Hitchhiker” (the BBC version, not the Hollywood movie).

I amazed that the comics censors let Mr Rickard get away with that! Such language!

Try this instead:

(sqrt(cos(x))cos(300.x)+sqrt(abs(x))-0.7)((4.-(xx))^0.01)

for -2. < x < 2.

It’s also grammatically incorrect. We all know it’s “0101” before “1100” except after “0010”. I guess that’s poetic license, or in the case of robots, poetic EULA.

The rhymes aren’t so great, but I love the meter. I think it’s iambic milliammeter.

Could’ve used some punctuation too.

That doesn’t even scan. Maybe it’s minified…

Lotsa hugs, but no kisses… whrrrrr

But it’s the binary thought that counts

A poem by Kryten.

“But do you LIKE it. I did it in free verse for you.”

If that’s one number it’s a heckuva big one.

But what about the anaphora, alliteration, and assonance?

It translates to:R©Jª©UªUUVª

Roses are One.

Violets are Zero.

There’s no way to turn this into a Rhyme.
