Ode to Ben, nude or not
electricity poem for Mikeydred's Unofficial Challenge
The key to our lights
Began with a kite
Ben was a mighty scientist
also known as a nudist
We don’t know if during
His lightning luring
If he wore clothes
Or perhaps was exposed -
Was he taking an "air bath"
As the kite rose above his path?
In either case, the key and kite
created sparks for light
Electricity was begun
Was it with a bare bum?

~ Fired ~
— Ai Intrusion ~ Are you Next ~ Is Ai Evolution after your job? — Few workplaces haven't been affected. Ai is in supermarkets, at doctors' offices, and even monitoring farms. I just can't think of anything this machine is not getting into, can you? For instance: Education ~ Law and Tech jobs will one day have a major influence or be taken over by these inanimate machines, with accuracy and vigor. From mechanics' diagnoses to a wide variety of everyday jobs, including fast food workers, with this input having the ability to cut their unnecessary work hours. I'm certain all of us have been touched by this with our short stories and colorful headings, have you? Even comments are very questionable 'Non-Robot' insertions.

I will forever, see Ben Franklin running with a kite, naked. Such a fund read. Nicely Done Andrea.
This title caught me and didn't disappoint! Such fun! 💜
So so cute and clever!
lol, I'll always see Ben running naked with the kite now
Hahahahahaha that made me laugh!
What a fun little poem, Andi! I’ve read a lot about Franklin but never knew he was a nudist. Live and learn!
That was fun, and a great pic, maybe he should have nude 😁
