I Need A Robot Poem by Richard Jarboe

I need a robot to get me through the day,
I need a worker I don't have to pay,
I need a robot raking the lawn,
Guarding my house when I'm gone,

I don't need no human,
I can't afford the human race,
I need a robot
To take their place.

I need a robot scratching my back,
A fighting robot when I'm under attack,
I need a robot; smart enough to drive,
Smiling beside me giving me five.

Cracking jokes and making me laugh,
Watching the children, teaching them math,
Scrubbing the floor, making my day,
I need a robot I don't have to pay.
