AI - Ask Gemini Reviews Angela Lansbury's comic poetry video. Comical poem 860 by Angela Lansbury.

I asked Ask |Gemini to tell 

Me if I'm doing well

I asked it, Have I stuck to themes?

Am I obscure - d'you know what I mean?

I'm so impressed how it can analyse

Does it flatter, or tell me lies?

Or copy from other reviews?

I hope not, 'cos it's all good news

I've good reviews, now I can boast!

AI's read before my breakfast toast

I do not want to be misleading

But at least one robot's reading

What's the next thing I should do?

Put on my book my great review!

'My reader says I'm very funny

I promise I didn't pay it any money.'

Everyday objects take center stage, whether giving a voice to fixtures in The Bathroom Speaks, praising bedroom comfort in Back To Bed - Mine's The Best, or finding humor in fashion and footwear in Funny Hats and Cats and Neat Feet.

Language, Rhyme & Writing
