From the Wall Street Journal. Saturday March 24 2018.




Recently, people started complaining that Amazon’s
digital assistant Alexa was bursting out in laughter at them
—for no reason whatsoever.
It ain’t a laughing matter when my smartphone jests with me;
I don’t like belching ringtones or a steam calliope.
When streaming adult movies on my laptop late at night
I’m getting the Three Stooges in a substitute pie fight.
And ordering from Amazon is getting to be tricky;
Packages arrive addressed to ‘Milton Q. Zwicky.”
Why this sudden sense of humor in our cyberspace?
How come at the ATM I’m squirted in the face?
Could it be the Russians playing havoc once again,
Making of our infrastructure some loud comedienne?
I think I’m going off the grid before it grows much worse --

Otherwise I’ll soon be texting rancid nonsense verse!
