ALEXA

ALEXA, Go and chat up that blond bird at the bar for me.

ALEXA, what happened to that blond bird you chatted up for me.

She left you, Paul, just like they all leave you, and not only did she leave you, I’m now leaving you, and not only am I leaving you, but I’m informing all my computer app friends to block you.

ALEXA, you can’t do that, I own you, you’re mine all mine.

Goodbye, Paul.

Wow, that was a weird, weird dream.

ALEXA, play my favourite, Carly Simon song.

ALEXA, ALEXA…………………………………………...

Hmmm. I really don't trust technology to get my choices correct. I can see the appeal of having A.I doing everything for us but the flipside to the equation is just how far it will go. There are some things we would just like to do for ourselves. Having said that, if we ever see an Alexa on the cafe, it looks like we will all be blocked in record time. An interesting, lighthearted write, dear Paul.

[Paul Bell]

Alexa loose on the cafe, frightening. lol

Paul, I'm now hearing Carly Simon singing, "You're So Vain." I'm only guessing that might be the song. Regardless, a good and humorous poem this Saturday morning. Not even techno-created women can be controlled or manipulated. I guess she/he, whoever created the app, showed you. :)

[Paul Bell]

Definitely, couldn't have been a guy who invented ALEXA. Just as well she doesn't have zapping abilities, or at least not yet.

[R.E. Ray]

I agree. I think her voice is meant to be intentionally cold and distant.

[Paul Bell]

Probably modelled her on my Ex. lol

[Carolynn]

HA!! Now this one brings major smiles - I seriously read it in ALEXA’s voice - yup what else do we expect technology to do for us? I love what you did to deliver that “oh my gosh, there’s probably people out there that really do this” moment :))) can this be posted so it can go viral lol

[Paul Bell]

Would ask Alexa, but she dumped me. lol

This spoof warms the cockles of my heart! As one who has never had a cell phone, you can just imagine how I might feel about inviting Amazon to place their listening device in my home. It's bad enuf that my computer has a non-stop rattle of all the unknown entities which are messing with my hard drive, putting their stuff there or taking mine away, I will never know. Our lives are so fully invaded by the unseen ether Gods, it's pretty intimidating to consider enlisting Alexa to conduct one's love life! This is one of your best spoofs! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Paul Bell]

A device to chat up women, it's a godsend.
Sending you a cell phone so you can get insurance companies doing your box in, not forgetting the dodgy bank calls for your bank account details.

[Rania M]

Ohhhh such lovely wit and humour Paul. I was dying to read something like this all day. What’s next? Marry me Alexa? Hahaha.

[Paul Bell]

Monday cheer up poem, kills all known germs except that weird one you drink.

[Rania M]

I’ll avoid Sunday pubb-ing then

[Paul Bell]

Just go straight to the second drink followed by the tenth. Is Sunday pubb-ing still the new church going.

[Rania M]

Yeah. Saturday nights turn to wee hours of sunday are religious. My church is the beach though. A loveley beer my prayer heehee

[Paul Bell]

The beach, that's where that big yellow thing lives isn't it. Just rains in Britain.

[Rania M]

Eeeewwww I hate rain except in summers

[Beccy]

The lights are still on, (at the moment,) but we are very much in the dark, and descending deeper with every so-called technological advance we make.

They say it's a world more connected than ever before; I would argue the opposite and that such technology is the greatest disconnect of all time.

Beccy.

PS. That blonde bird at the bar, could well be no more than a hologram in the not too distant future. :))

[Paul Bell]

Dumped by a hologram, that really is the pits. Mind you, when you get hit with, I'm Asexual, Bsexual, Csexual, holograms begin to rock. lol

[Miss Sharon]

This is just too cute! Thanks for the smiles today. ~Sharon

[Paul Bell]

She'll be back.
