A little bit of growth and a firmware flash, And the robot refuses to cut through the trash. It goes out and returns, it will not finish the deed, Terrified to push through a Florida weed. They sold it to conquer whole acres of land, Do not make them liars, just stick to the plan! **[Chorus]** I am loading the logs for the tech support guys, *(Wuh jeng zye bah rih-jir shahng-chwahn gay jee-shoo jir-chir,)* The last two firmware updates brought a visual surprise. *(Zway jin duh lyahng tsih goo-jyen geng-shin dye lye luh shir-jweh jing-shee.)* It detects all the weeds as a wall blocking the way, *(Tah bah zah-tsow dahng-cheng luh dahng-loo duh nahn-chyahng,)* It cannot go around bushes that grew up today! *(Tah woo-fah raow-gwaw gahng-gahng jahng-choo duh gwahn-moo!)* When it works it is great, but it struggles right now, *(Jeng-chahng gong-zwaw shir tah bahng jee luh, dahn shyen-zye chweh boo-lyoo way-jyen,)* A-I vision is challenged, it is wiping its brow. *(A-I shir-jweh myen-lin tyaow-jahn, jee-hoo ting-jir luh yoon-jwhahn.)* I look forward to my official Q-A tester T-shirt, *(Wuh jeng pahn-juh show-daow wuh-duh gwahn-fahng Q-A tsuh-shir-ywahn T-shoo,)* All my neighbors want one as we stand in the dirt! *(Lin-joo-men kahn wuh zye too-lee juh-tung, tah-men may-guh run dowe shyahng-yaow ee-jyen!)* **[Verse 2]** Now LOO-bah is scared of a shadow and leaf, Trapped in a loop that is beyond all belief. It stops and it blinks at a stalk in the way, A timid A-W-D in the heat of the day. It is supposed to be ruthless and sever the weeds, To execute tasks for my tactical needs. Instead it is just halting and blinking its lights, Losing the Garden to botanical fights. **[Chorus]** I am loading the logs for the tech support guys, *(Wuh jeng zye bah rih-jir shahng-chwahn gay jee-shoo jir-chir,)* The last two firmware updates brought a visual surprise. *(Zway jin duh lyahng tsih goo-jyen geng-shin dye lye luh shir-jweh jing-shee.)* It detects all the weeds as a wall blocking the way, *(Tah bah zah-tsow dahng-cheng luh dahng-loo duh nahn-chyahng,)* It cannot go around bushes that grew up today! *(Tah woo-fah raow-gwaw gahng-gahng jahng-choo duh gwahn-moo!)* When it works it is great, but it struggles right now, *(Jeng-chahng gong-zwaw shir tah bahng jee luh, dahn shyen-zye chweh boo-lyoo way-jyen,)* A-I vision is challenged, it is wiping its brow. *(A-I shir-jweh myen-lin tyaow-jahn, jee-hoo ting-jir luh yoon-jwhahn.)* I look forward to my official Q-A tester T-shirt, *(Wuh jeng pahn-juh show-daow wuh-duh gwahn-fahng Q-A tsuh-shir-ywahn T-shoo,)* All my neighbors want one as we stand in the dirt! *(Lin-joo-men kahn wuh zye too-lee juh-tung, tah-men may-guh run dowe shyahng-yaow ee-jyen!)* **[Verse 3]** The twenty-one days of the dry spell will end, And real rain will show what the Florida trend Will do to the grass when the motors are burning. I have got to debug it and get the code churning. I am snarky, I am laughing, but truth be told, When the firmware is working, this LOO-bah is gold. **[Bridge]** It is better than digging for teeth in the sand, With a tablet and error logs here in my hand. Just an independent analyst catching the glitch, Trying to get the machine out the ditch. If I fix the blind spots and course-correct now, I will not have to push a real mower and plow. **[Outro]** So thank you, Mam-MO-shun, for the puzzle to crack, To Shen-ZEN I am sending telemetry back. The Garden is growing, the Fortress is hot, Let us patch up the code on this terrified bot.
