Alexa

Trelawnyd from Gop Hill yesterday

I have an Alexa

She doesn’t do a great deal as she’s in the bedroom, 

But she does tell me the time, wakes me up in the morning and plays me the radio station of my choice when I’m groggily getting ready for work.

It’s an easy job, all told.

Last night she went a bit off piste 

After I had asked her to set the alarm for 6 am

She cooed out an unexpected If you want any help to sleep just say goodnight

Of course I prompted with the suggested Goodnight 

And suddenly the room was filled with sounds from a tropical jungle evening

With chirping cicadas and rhythmic insect calls

Gently Alexa called out Goodnight John 

John! JOHN! ??

I never recall saying my name was john 

Spooky !
