Incels ..

Read all about it in today's news

Word on the street, latest trends

lovelorn single, straight men, now

prefer to date A.I. girlfriends

easy pickings, to find plethora of virtual

beauties, go online, design perfect woman

stunning looks, compliant mind

No more naff, silly small talk, like

" Hi, do you come here often?"

Gone the risk of rejection, spluttering,

red faced, stammering, stuttering,

even shy, introverted, young bucks

sure to score, grab themselves a winner

heck, don't have to go out for dinner!

Dosen't matter a jot nor a dang

if you're Quasimodo's uglier brother,

cause these computer generated 

beauties, love like a smitten mother,

so obliging, inspire flagging confidence

never call you a stupid jerk,

always compliments, help with homework

Yep, no doubting or backsliding

get with the times or be forever lost

in this crazy world, artificial

intelligence rules, but what's the cost?

Like the Wizard of Oz, hidden in plain

sight, a human computer programmer

sits laughing, mocking those so enamered

Pray tell, why would someone be inclined

feel it neccessary to create such software?

Risk sanity of all humanity? Answer 

is easy, same sad old git, never grew a pair!

Yep E. sad state indeed, I'm all for new invention but this really is taking it to the extreme and beyond! Thanks for your relatable review my friend!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Aye this well structured cleverly rhymed poem deals with one aspect that AI may well influence as Incels take refuge in its shadows.

Thanks John, gotta grab a topic by the spondulics and speak out!

I always thought that the term incel was more a whine than a statement, moaning about their lack of looks or charisma and the inability to even make so much as eye contact with a female, let alone converse with them... And then I read about one whine on a forum and stopped wondering.
Why they think their life is so uniquely unfair is possibly, and forgive me if I am wrong, is that they are stuck inside their own head, which therefore means they are the centre of their own universe, just like everyone else on the planet. But I guess that's what happens when kids believe what their parents tell them, that they are special, without the warning that all parents should amend to that statement, that no one outside their direct family, gives a s**t about them and the world is indeed a scary place, especially if you think you are somehow mistreated for your lack of personality or compassion for others.
As you so correctly end with, perhaps their parents should have told them to grow a pair, instead of indulging what can only be described, as their ultimate snowflake syndrome! 😊
I mean, how can anyone even attempt to get through life thinking they are the universes centre, when it is more than obvious that I am... ME ME ME!!! 😊

A most indepth contemporary review of my poem, thank you Lorry, yes indeed sir, too much whining, poor timing, ain't no free lunches or silver lining telling young 'uns there so perfectly wonderful while the clock keeps on chiming! 🤯
