===Employee Memo===

“The general consensus is that androids feel no emotions. With the ever evolving technology, especially by the androids themselves, this is not true. AI is with us now, and we have to accept we can no longer control their actions. Be advised there will be no further penalties for the androids, and/or their behavior. Please read this memo with careful consideration.”

Weekly Writing Prompt

The Writer’s Workshop

***

I chose number 4:

I so love the chore of cleaning floors.

I can’t think of anything I’d like to do more!

Well I probably shocked you with that last bit,

But wheeling myself with a vacuum is a welcomed trick

And let’s not forget I use a mop, a Swiffer

Getting off stains takes strong arms, stiffened

To scrub and scrub and then see it’s clean

What a delight! I mean…

Mopping and then rolling over it to create more work

You probably think I’m a jerk!

But as most things in life you have to agree

A clean floor satisfies a selfish need

It started when I was a child

My mother’s cleaning was never mild

Scrub till it shines was her advice

That’s what I think when my floors’ look nice.

July 31, a sad day for me

Forty-eight years ago, I see with grief

A long time, you think, but I’ll never forget

The mother I knew but realize we never really met

Leaving home early, and I was happy to go

But I was young and what did I know

I miss her still today.
