ODE TO A ROBOT

Once, not too long ago
a small red robot lived in the bottom
of a tool maker's grey tool box.

Every once in a while
the tool maker would put the robot
in the window of his shop so the robot
could see the sun or moon or billowing
clouds in a blue sky.

One day a lady came into the shop and said
I want to buy the robot to give to my friend.
The tool maker asked the lady, "Why?"

She said I think the robot is magical.
It would do a good job of entertaining my friend
so my friend does not get lonely when I go away.

So the lady bought the shiny red robot
and gave it to her friend who never
was lonely again.
