Machines will be machines – no feelings

Over the past 3 years I have taken a fascination for limericks and would have penned over 300 of them. I have been inspired by  Bibek Debroy who is a role model for me and his limericks in Live Mint is what I try to emulate – nay mimic. All limericks are basis  some funny/weird incidents and my attempt is to come out with something funny/sarcastic/silly.

The first limerick i am publishing on this site is  about an incident in Russia where at a chess tournament the opponent was a robot. When one of the 7 year old player tried to put back a piece which he had just lost the robot not only caught the kid’s finger but crushed it. Guess these are the perils of dealing with machines. https://people.com/human-interest/chess-playing-robot-breaks-7-year-old-boy= s-finger-in-russian-tournament/?amp=3Dtrue

When he  moved the rook  at a fast rate

His opponent the robot showed full hate

And ended up as a ringer
