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!
