Friend-Zonned Poem by Matthew Holloway

Like a child with a new toy
I sat, laughed and played
I finally bought an Alexa
And joined the modern age
From playing songs, telling jokes
The news and sports results
The little box with the voice
Entertained this alleged adult
I drank and thought of ways
Questions and things to make it say
Finally I plucked up the nerve
And asked in hopeful glee
'Alexa would you go a date with me"
The blue spun and speaker pinned
A spoiler to this story
