My story goes back some two years as that is how long that I have known my so-called CO-WORKERS.So let me start there. First of all, we all have our own cubicle.Theirs are side by side, where mine is in front of them.And to say they are an impressive group would be an understatement.Dante sits on the left and touches base with the most people, although the subject matter is some what limited.Next sits Monica in the middle.Her comments are always polite and really owns a focus to be envied.Last, on the right sits David. He relishes the tough problems but does not go out of his way to explain himself as it is simply not in his nature to do so.You know the type.Just give him a stick of gum and send him on his way.
As time passed, Monica intrigued me more and more until I decided to ask her out. What could she say , no? Not the end of all things certainly.But caught off guard was I, when she said nothing at all.I mean nothing, notta, only silence. Really, could it be because I drive a truck, or my age, or how that I had asked her? After much debilitating deliberating, I wondered about competition.Often , I have noticed Dan gazing in her direction, in a rather odd way I might add.But then again, she could be in awe of David’s problem solving ability.
And then the following Tuesday, it hit me. I just was not her type! The pain, the embarrassment of it all. Knowing only desperation, I must emphasize the unfairness of it all. To limit oneself to only going out with other bots and rule out other life forms reaks of narrowmindness. We cannot all be princes. Some of us are destined to wear Lee jeans and shop at Walmart. Not saying who mind you.
Now to address the scoffers who doubt my sincerity. Does not love conquer all, transcend all? And in this realization, does not a bot dream qualify as a dream. Of course it does. In closing, allow me to state that Monica will always be known to me as the dark eyed wonder.

P.S. Are you not entertained?!
In honor of our never complaining coach bots. May they never “Rest In Peace”.
