"ROBOT LOVE"
Copyright 2010, Robert Barrows

I didn't know she was a robot until I kissed her.
You couldn't tell by the tongue action,
but she clearly didn't have a heartbeat and she
didn't even have to breathe.

It felt a little bit like necrophilia,
but that didn't mean she was dead…

"Don't Say Nuthin'"
Copyright 2018 Robert Barrows

Don't say nuthin' about her driving
Don't say nuthin' about her cooking
Don't say nuthin' about her lovin'
And you'll live a long, happy life

Don't say nuthin' about his drinkin'
Don't say nuthin' about his thinkin'
Don't say nuthin' about his stinkin'
And you'll live a long, happy life.

Don't say nuthin' about his attitude
Don't say nuthin' about his lack of gratitude
Don't say nuthin' about his stupidity
And you'll live a long, happy life

Don't say nuthin' about his work
Don't say nuthin' about his cleaning
Don't say nuthin' about his self-delusions
And you'll live a long, happy life

Don't say nuthin' about her clothes
Don't say nuthin' about her weight
Don't say nuthin' about her hair
And you'll live a long, happy life
