I ask my iPad everything,

Everything I don’t know.

From how to make a cake,

To how to tie a bow.

Hey Siri, is how I start,

And then the question goes.

How big is the giraffe?

Or how long is an elephant nose?

In a flash she can answer,

Without a moment delay,

The giraffe is 5.5 metres,

the nose is 5 inches I do say.

But this is where it’s tricky,

And makes you have to think.

Is the nose that small?

Maybe it didn’t sync?

Hey Siri, are you sure with the nose?

Again, it answers quickly,

“Whatever do you mean?”

Maybe Siri is acting sickly…

“Hey Siri”, I reply.

“How long is that elephant trunk?

For it is not 5 inches.

Do you take me for a punk?”

 “60 inches,” it retorts.

I scratch my head in thought,

And think of what went wrong.

In this answer that I have sort.

“Hey Siri, what is an elephant nose?”

A while it took to respond.

“A fish,” is what it answered, 

“One’s right in your pond!”
