18 Just Use the Thing
This the last, for a while anyway. I've got to do some tidying up of Mr Martinez before I publish it on 1st August. In the meantime, see if you can guess what happens to our hero in this story, let me know, because your guess is as good as mine. Image created at canva.com

17 What Would Interest Big Brother in Merthyr Tydfil?
Well, what? I ask you. I've reached 10,000 words on this. That milestone usually means I'll get a book out of a project. However, it also means I probably won't post the other 40 to 50,000 on here. I might do an excerpt or two between now and whenever I do finish it. Keep an eye out for it on the 'Zon, sometime after Mr Martinez appears.

16 Two Jokes for the Price of One
Some military nicknames aren't very kind. Some are bestowed with sympathy, whilst still being less than polite. Anyway, that's not important. "You want some more-a?" It's your own fault then. Image PD elements. Canva.com

Lines
Six lines are not a verse - or indeed - averse. Odd, it's fine if you pass it by. In red are your options for punctuating the last couplet, which will change the meaning of the lines, if you think about it. Image made at canva.com

continuity. although Dulux is a US brand of paint too, did they ever use the Old English Sheepdog as part of their branding? The Dulux Dog was used in campaigns in AUS and NZ, but I don't think it was in the States.

Fine,

chewily satisfying, language. Like the best renderings of the macabre, it is very matter of fact.
You have a typo improbably vice improbable in second stanza line 9.
Good poem.

ingenious and matter-of-fact.
I'm willing to bet by the time your narrator gets her man-bot programmed it'll be a woman. (Joking!)
Keep going
