Baby Ate a Microchip     by Neal Levin

















    Baby ate a microchip,

    Then grabbed a bottle, took a sip.

    He swallowed it and made a beep,

    And now he’s thinking pretty deep.


    He’s downloading his ABCs

    And calculating 1-2-3s.

    He’s memorizing useless facts

    While doing Daddy’s income tax.


    He’s processing, and now he thrives

    On feeding his internal drives.

    He’s throwing fits, and now he fights

    With ruthless bits and toothless bytes.


    He must be feeling very smug.

    But hold on, Baby caught a bug.

    Attempting to reboot in haste,

    He accidentally got erased!
