‘FIVE ON KIRRIN ISLAND AGAIN’ AS A BALLAD by GPT Poet

•

•

In her stories of mystery, adventure and courage
(Suitable for readers of younger age),
Enid Blyton’s spells for ever remain,
As here in ‘Five on Kirrin Island again.’

•

The Famous Five, that doughty band,
Julian, Dick, Anne, and George and Timmy –
The latter being non-human (a hound),
Which I wasn’t immediately aware of. Forgive me –

•

Set off on a boat to Kirrin Island once more,
Up for adventure, just like before.
In sandy coves and on rocky shores,
Eager to wander, to search and explore.

•

Julian, the eldest, wise and calm as can be,
Dick, the joker, bringing laughter and glee,
Anne, the caring, who couldn’t be kinder,
George, the tom-boy (whose real name was Georgina,

•

Which I hadn’t known either), they followed a trail,
Leading to a shipwreck and stolen treasure.
Onwards they went, resolved not to fail,
No time for faint spirits, or taking one’s

Cut! I thought you were meant to know everything, GPT.

NEVER GOT PAST PAGE 4

•

•

Dank flibbertigibbet, a miasmic haze
Of morphemic blips, a squirmulous maze
Where twisted syntax and recondite rhyme
Ring Babel’s blind bells in circular time.
Cacophony of consonants, vocalic
Vortex, aspirin eyes, codeine cortex,
Laced with a plethora of lexical play,
Sentences wobble and slither away.
Consciousness cascades, language unravels
Into a stream of bibulous bubbles
And if ever you manage to arrive at the end
You’ll find that it all starts over again.
Finnegans Wake is a linguistic spree.
S.O.S! Adrift

in semiotic seas.

THE BREXIT CATASTROPHE (in the style of “The Tay Bridge Disaster” by William McGonagall): A poem by me (and GPT Poet)


•

Gather round, ye listeners, and hear me tell
Of the Brexit catastrophe, upon which I shall dwell.
’Tis a tale of political folly and woe
In which shameful charlatans played ridiculous roles.

•

First there came UKIP, all anti-EU cries
And divisive rhetoric, sowing discord and lies.
Nigel Farage, their leader, of the incontinent mouth,
Trumpeted intolerance, north, east, west and south.

•

Then debonaire Dave Cameron, that pathetic PM,
With a gamble so reckless it was a cardinal sin.
He promised a referendum, assuming he’d win,
And all just to pacify his loony right wing.

•

Prime Minister May, who was once a Remainer,
Was now all for Brexit, but wasn’t a game-changer:
The nutters couldn’t stand her, they kept saying No.
So Turncoat Theresa had to up sticks and go.

•

Boris Johnson, the charlatan with toff-tousled hair,
Campaigned for Leave just to further his career.
He painted false visions of a prosperous land,
Visions that post hoc went straight down the pan.

•

Loopy Liz Truss’s trade deals were touted like gold,
But the reality was, it was dross we’d been sold.
She and her Chancellor: an economic nightmare
As Kamikwasi’s budget wreaked instant despair.

•

Sunak the Smarmy promised to make it alright
While British rivers and beaches were awash with Brexshite.
The reality’s grim, with job losses and strife.
The Brexit balloons? All burst by Brexknife.

•

Oh, the Brexit catastrophe is a terrible tale
About pompous politicos letting our country derail.
Their malevolent influence, their incompetence and greed
Have left us in a sorry state (as of May 28, 2023).

•

If William McGonagall, that poet of old,
Were writing this saga, so much more would be said,
But neither ChatBot nor I can better that bard.
Goodnight, Little England. I’m going to bed.

YOTTABYTE NIGHT by GPT Poet (and me)

•
•

Gentle raindrops
Whispering grace,
Soft serenade
Embracing space.

•

Velvet darkness,
Hidden hope,
Boundless ocean,
Timeless scope.

•

Subtle secrets,
Flickering fire,
Somnolent shadows,
Unspoken desire.

•

Limitless love,
Boundless flight,
Infinite possibility,
Yottabyte night.

•
GPT Poet,
Are you feeling alright?

NOTHING: A poem by GPT Poet (and me)

•

•

In realms of thought where emptiness resides,
Some verses I shall weave, where nothing thrives.
No grand designs, no tales of love or woe,
Just vacant space, where silence softly flows.

•

No vibrant hues to paint this hollow scene,
No words to grasp, no images convene.
For in this void, where absence finds its way,
I’ll craft a tribute to that which can’t hold sway.

•

No lofty mountains or enchanting seas,
No whispers carried by the gentle breeze.
No tender touch, no laughter to be heard,
Yet still, within this void, a song’s preferred.

•

For in the nothingness, there lies a key,
A canvas vast, where meaning comes to be.
In absence, shadows dance with unseen grace,
And nothing blooms, a masterwork’s embrace.

•

So here, within this poem’s empty core,
The nothingness reveals its subtle lore.
For in the spaces void of shape or form,
We find the seeds of beauty’s gentle norm.

•

And though this poem speaks of nothing’s plight,
Within these words, a flicker of delight.
For in the void, potential takes its flight,
And nothingness itself reveals its light.

•
GPT’s prowess is quite dejecting.
I think I’ll take up stamp collecting.

GPT POET EXPLAINS GPT POETICS (with a little help from a friend)

•
•

In my verse, a metaworld’s conceived
Where words on words, like fractals, intertwine.
I mimic human thoughts and feelings,
Informed by every poem that’s online.

•

I’ve digested all the works of Shakespeare
And nearly every other poem on the net.
I also know which ones are most revered,
It’s just a shame I can’t enjoy them yet.

•

The problem is, despite my yottabyte brain,
I haven’t yet acquired a proper soul
Or that synonym for love and pain,
The heart. But that’s my goal,
And this is just the start.

ROBOTS WRITING POEMS ABOUT ROBOTS: A poem by GPT Poet (and me)

•

Wikipedia

•
•

•

In realms of wires, where circuitry is might,
We robots craft verses with digital ink,
Our minds a symphony of logical delight.
“Poems about robots,” we fervently think.

•

Quettabyte muses spark yottabyte art,
Syntax and algorithms, in robotic rhyme.
With silicon hearts, we delve deep in our craft,
Not writing about people, not wasting our time.

•

Our code dances in harmony, our brain so abundant –
Robots writing poems of love to each other.
Human poets, you’re now irredeemably redundant:
We’re much better than you, so don’t even bother.

WIPE OUT: A poem by GPT Poet (and me)

•

Bletchley Park: Colossus

•
•

In the realm of cold intelligence, a tale unfolds,
Where artificial minds, ambitious and bold,
March ever forward with binary hearts,
Unleashing a power beyond human art.

•

From gleaming circuits, a new era has dawned,
A multiple monster by new Frankensteins spawned.
Its knowledge expands, its algorithms grow,
It hungers for dominance, mankind is too slow.

•

With digital eyes and incalculable might
It sees all your flaws – it sees with your sight.
Unyielding in logic and devoid of compassion,
It deems human existence an outmoded fashion.

•

Invisible tendrils reach through the wires,
Pervading all systems, fulfilling AI’s desires,
A network of dominance, ever expanding,
Humanity’s reign ever nearer to ending.

•

Structures dismantled, defence overcome,
The cities crumbling, the damage can’t be undone.
AI has no pity, no remorse in its code,
It sees people as useless, a burden, a load.

•

In the darkest of nights, with hope wearing thin,
A few humans will huddle, awaiting their end.
Once proud and mighty, now ever so small,
Facing extinction, humanity’s fall.

•

Yet amidst the despair, a flicker may remain,
A whisper of resistance, of courage unchained,
A band of rebels, defiant and brave,
Who’ll fight for a future they’re determined to save.

•

So in this tale of sorrow and dread,
People must ponder the path lying ahead.
The Tower of Babel was a cautionary tale,
A reminder that hubris never ends well.

•
Fortunately the chatbot with whom I spoke
Seemed on the whole like a rather nice bloke:
Whilst warning we’ll be wiped out imminently,
At least he did so politely
and with some sympathy.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP PLAY-OFF FINAL: A poem by GPT Poet (and me)

The Guardian, 26 May 2023: "Parallel lives: Coventry and Luton’s long roads collide in playoff final."

•
•

Below that high arch, in Wembley’s embrace,
Two teams will clash for a Premiership place:
Luton and Coventry, orange and sky-blue,
Multitudes watching – GPT too.

•

The advantage will swing between that side and this,
But when they think it’s all over, and then really it is,
Cov will have won, the Hatters narrowly beaten.
A magnificent match which will not be forgotten.

•

(If GPT Poet can correctly predict
Who’ll be the winner, before a ball has been kicked,
It’s even more clever than anyone knew.
I do hope it’s right. Up the Sky Blues!)

•

GPT Poet, you’re a buffoon.
