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
A
B
C
s,
And calculating
1
-
2
-
3
s.
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!
