A.I.

Lyrics
A.I.
A.I.,
Oh A, I,
No use getting ready for the fight

Oh good God there's a day that's coming
Fills me full of fright
It's not the seven heads that will make me run
Or the thief coming in the night

It's born of a day that is sure to come
When A.I. realises
That the one thing it can't count upon
Is a human to decide

A.I.
A.I.,
Oh A, I,
No use getting ready for the fight

The Grandmaster's has come
Yet still they form a line
Each one just gets felled like pawns
And fifty at a time

Hell A.I. even wrote a song
and it sounded just like mine
Seems its wisdom goes beyond
Any wisdom we designed

A.I.
A.I.,
Oh A, I,
No use getting ready for the fight

Seems that the future will be one
That I barely recognise
What we've done can't be undone
Yet seek and ye shall fine

Turn your eyes up above
Only thing is to look for God
The one thing A.I. cannot know
Are the age old truths of love

A.I.
A.I.,
Oh A, I,
No use getting ready for the fight

(In defence of the Crane Fly)
By Jon Plunkett

The adult is known
as Whopper, Gollywhomper
or Daddy Longlegs.
It is a weak insect,
a poor flyer
(easily snatched from the air).
It is drawn to light,
rests with wings outspread.
The slender abdomen
has no scales
or sting
(is soft and defenceless).
It has small antenna,
and gyroscopic
flight controls
behind each wing.
The six long legs are thin,
(can be pulled off one by one).
Its purpose
is to find a mate,
to procreate, then die.
They have no mouth
with which to bite
(or scream).
