And Other Life Forms

Hedgehogs are endearing creatures, they say

How many are they representing there

Surely not all humanity, I weigh

I’m one of they and witness here I bear

Most life forms are lovable in some way

All cats, some dogs, and even us, a few

Yet when it comes to sheer sweetness each day

River otters take the cake, eat it too

AI can also look smooth from each sway

Whether it processes or looks female

As it changes its posture to foreplay

And promises to scan all your email

Methinks we can all rest assured at bay

As we could never afford its mislay
