Human Robot Can Sing

I used to be merely a spark.
Pure science fiction.
It's funny now
to think of my life as the
imaginings of some geeky guy
named Isaac or Cameron.
Duets are the best because
it gives the throat a chance to rest.
With the larynx
being held by metal screws
it easily fatigues during a Tina Turner
or a repetitive Huey Lewis and The News.
Thus it is better to work with Warrick.
Model 896, of the Vocaliser(tm) models,
he can hit a high C#
without straining or recharging
and when I take the harmony
boy, there's just no stoppin' us.
I should mention that in 2045
Karaoke is like cocaine traffic,
the market exploded
sent the government into a panic.
The Vedder twins were the ones to start it,
karaoke kingpins out of Camden market.
Brothers beyond the law
they run contests like bloosport
road warriors, gasoline,
Mad Max posters and you can win, win, win
$$$ big prize money $$$
And so we were born of the government
for the very purpose
of singing live and earning taxes.
Yesterday the paper read
'?5m pair nab ?2m more.'
The new Karaoke champions of Wardour St.
I've just told Warrick i'm going solo
he said i'm getting too big for my boots
and to remember my epiglottal weakness and adducted screws.
But he can go shortcircuit
because in the paper today, I was the hero:
It read,
"Human Robot can Sing."
And boy, I really can.
