She thought they certainly didn't work very long if you ran them hard. She giggled at her double entendre. But the toyboys were after all the best of technology, unless you could afford a real boy like her sister owned. And he was the second boy she'd had in as many years too. Wherever did she get that kind of money. Um um um. Oh well. SharLik was a good tech and SharLin's toyboy would be back up in no time. She laughed at her silly little pun. SharLin fancied herself to be quite clever and somewhat the wit. In reality this was just a something she imagined; the toyboys were programmed as sycophants with a penchant towards flattering their owners and she accepted their judgement as truth. SharLin was deep into the codependency syndrome. As a general rule toyboy afficianados had more money than wit or common sense, and SharLin was no exception. “There, see. He blinked his eyes.

Nut liked to compose esoteric verse about computer chips, and then he’d share them with Bolt. after the crash One, two, many pushes and returns; one too many pops... Silly silicon syndrome; stack scattered, system shattered. Bits of bytes, certain symbols, arcane artifacts, and the occasional Hex character. Now all we can find, these remnants of a kind, memories of a metallic mind. Bolt on the other hand was built for cruder work and it was reflected in his attempts at poetry. Thinking about you I composed this haiku I did it for you thinking about you I am wishing we could screw I so lust for you Nut and Bolt both had lustful circuit events about Asterix thier supervisory unit. This was by design. Yet Asterix had eyes only for Bode, and that was not going to change. Charna Charna brought poppies in the spring Yes Charna brought her everything Charna's tunes made her heart sing Without Charna there was nothing Thinking of you in haiku Here is a haiku And I wrote it just for you I'm alone and blue Do you feel the same?
