Ten thousand years of Roboshrub.

Fangs for the memories.




In today’s state, Roboshrub Incorporated is an entity entirely devoted
to the execution of what normal people would refer to as “bad ideas.”

It was the creator’s original idea that all concepts, whether
useful or not, contribute to the global subconscious level of progress
for the human race. Therefore, we contend that no idea is an unfit
idea, and vow to act on each and every one of them.

Snowcloud Symphony

Dance, tree! Dance in the wind!
’Twas snowing that night, as I sat on my porch.
One could see not the stars, as clouds clogged the sky —
Though the stars were alight, I could see to the north —
Down by the horizon, those suns harried forth —
But the surly, burly clouds would not be denied.

“Faster, thicker, colder, quicker,” the happy snowclouds sang.
As if by ritual, my trees reached to cloak their bark —
“Light or heavy, we shall levy,” thus the great oaks rang.
“We shall hold, for we are sturdy,” they sang through every twang
Leaving overburdened branches dying in the dark.

The Armies of Winter descended to face me on their feet:
A million frozen soldiers armed with tiny icy shards.
I fought them back with just my tongue, they yielded to the heat —
They fast refused to shake my hand, melting at my greet —
Clearly, I painfully admit, détente’s not in the cards.

So I sit there, unperturbed, watching the dancing clouds.
The cold is just part of their wintry melody —
So I sit there listening; they’ve never been so proud —
“An audience!” they sing, and play their music loud.
So I sit there beside the clouds and the trees.
So I sit there and join the chorus.

A lovely poem...and a luxuriously magnificent photograph of a magnificent snow covered tree...(that was an overly pretentious failed sentence, I know. I was trying too hard.)

But I was shocked to read the following line:
I fought them back with just my tongue, they yielded to the heat —

YOU KILLED SOME SNOWFLAKES!!!
