Electronic Sheep?

Robot Dreams

If robots dream of electronic sheep

Then what do those sheep eat?

And I may be some sort of fool

But is that where you get steel wool?

Instead of going bleat bleat bleat

Do these sheep go beep beep beep?

Here’s a thought that’s really scary

Do you have to count them in binary?

If from the flock they should get

Do you catch them with an ethernet?

When together, they should band

Do they like to use some sort of LAN?

Do their keyboards use ASCII,

or do they use something else that strikes their fancy?

Does each sheep come with a printer,

or does one sheep act as a printer center?

When you move them in a flock real quick,

do you have to use an electronic joystick?

When in the pasture must you watch them graze

Or is there an electronic dog trained for that nowadays
