Thomas Inkling
is done thinking
There was a guy named Thomas Inkling
Who let A.I. do all his thinking
This made him passive and dull
Ideas drained from his skull
Now you won’t even catch him blinking
*******************
When A.I. is all we read and write
We’ll be too dumb to put up a fight
Art is not content
And content’s not art
A.I. content’s worth less than a fart
*******************
Don’t be like Thomas, write your own stuff
Readers are tired of A.I. fluff
Let’s be brave again, be real
Make them think again and feel
We have power, friends, we are enough

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

Beautiful piece!
Ha ha love it. Congratulations on you top story
I appreciate how you turn a cautionary tale into an inspiring call for authenticity. Your metaphor of Thomas Inkling makes the argument memorable and sharp.
Back to say congratulations on your Top Story! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
The Dani Writer wholeheartedly approves of this limerick message and is fed up to the nines (and tens and twenties) with the AI mess. Top story kudos, Leslie!
How brilliant! A.I has one job: to capture attention. When it can no longer capture it, it will be null and void. I truly believe the end of AI is near.
Leslie! This made me laugh quite a bit. Thank you for that. As soon as I saw the title, my honing signalling system spotted it might be a limerick or three...and I was glad to be right! It was a delight with a cutting and very salient point! Well done and congrats on Top Story! Also, love the new profile image!
Worth less than a fart hahahahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Loved this!
Clever AND cutting. Bravo
