Please be aware that this poem
was not generated by nor was
the writing assisted by Generative AI.
The words and thoughts are mine,
and mine alone so there is no machine
intelligence to take the blame for
what I might or might not say.
I wanted to assure you of this
and thought of ways I could insure
that you would believe me, that you
would not assume that I had told
the AI engine to write this in
a manner that would lead you
to accept that it had no hand in this.
I decided that one way to do so
would be to include several errors
in spelling and punctuation, but
I didn’t account for auto-correct
that Microsoft has saddled me with
so you won’t find them, but you
will just have to take me at my word
that this sorry excuse for a poem
was all and only me on a bad day.
