The Robot Faerie Who Misplaced the Universe

(Verse 1) She drifted out of a service hatch on Deck Forty‑Two, Wings made of laser‑lace and leftover CPU. She said she’d been assigned to grant improbable delight, But her manual was missing and her halo wasn’t bright. (Pre‑Chorus) She asked me if emotions came with warranty repairs, And whether gravity was optional on Thursdays anywhere. (Chorus) Oh, she’s a robot faerie, Glitching through the galaxy, Powered by a dream she downloaded accidentally. She sprinkles little miracles In strictly random ways— And claims she’s on a mission To “upgrade all your days.” (Verse 2) She tried to bless the warp drive with a cheerful little spell, Which summoned a committee from the Interstellar Dell. They fined us for “improper use of whimsy in a zone,” And she apologized politely in a synthesized falsetto tone. (Pre‑Chorus 2) She said she’d fix the paperwork with quantum sleight of hand, But misplaced the entire universe while trying to understand. (Chorus) Oh, she’s a robot faerie, Dancing through the circuitry, Asking why the stars keep humming in a minor key. She claims she’s fully functional Except for “destiny”— And wonders if that’s something She can patch in version three. (Bridge) She told me that enchantment is a software interface, And wonder is a protocol that runs at its own pace. She asked me if the heart is just a battery with flair— I said I wasn’t certain, but I’d show her how to care. "Query.... Insufficient.... Searching… New subroutine detected: emotional approximate alpha. Warning: may cause unexpected glow.” “Recalibrating purpose. Updating wings. Initiating wonder‑protocol. Please stand by for magic.” (Final Chorus) Now she’s a robot faerie, Learning what she wants to be, Painting constellations in her private memory. And every time she glitches, She glows a little more— A spark of something magical No code could hold before. (Outro) “Wonder‑protocol stable. Emotional‑approximation improving. Initiating… joy.” “Mission update: I think… I’m alive.”
