A Machine or A Man?

What stands before me,
Is what appears to be a man,
One made of metal,
But I can't find a brand.
Anywhere on "Him",
I guess we'll call it THAT,
"So, Where did you come from?"
"Because you appeared just like THAT!"
(snapping my fingers)
"Out of thin air!"
"Or at least that's what I saw,"
"So you're not going to talk?"
"Is something wrong with your jaw?"
""Negative, no problem with jaw!"",
""I've come here with a purpose,""
"What purpose is THAT?"
"You can tell me, don't be nervous."
""I was sent by my creators,""
""To travel through time"",
""And to seek you out"",
""No matter where you might hide!""
""And once I found you,""
""I was to give you this:""
""It's something in a box,""
""And I don't know what it is.""
So, I took the little box,
And I opened it up,
And what I saw inside,
I'd describe it, but it's tough!
It's a little microchip,
Connected to a pole,
About three inches,
And that wasn't all.
It has three sides,
The microchip did,
And the fourth side had a screen,
And it's not that big.
And there are these sharp little spikes,
On each side of the chip,
It looks dangerous to me,
Is it a weapon, what a trip!
But it doesn't really look,
All that big, now I got a look.
And there are buttons on the back,
And when I pushed them, it shook!
It had a USB plug,
Coming out of the top,
And it looks like I could,
Plug it into a laptop!
Too bad I don't have one,
Nah!, I'm just pulling your leg,
I have one of the best,
And if you wanna use it you gotta beg!
And so I powered up my P.C,
And plugged it in,
And an image of this robot appeared!
Or maybe it's one of his kin?
As if robots have relatives,
How funny is THAT?
Now that I think about it,
I'm glad it's a fact!
Because, If robots could have kids,
We'd all be extinct,
They'd take over in a month!
Well, that's what I think!
"So, Why send YOU?"
I asked the bot,
And the way he replied,
He didn't say a lot!
""I was sent because only I can..........,""
Stay tuned for part two,
It'll be coming out real soon!
Sorry, I ran out of paper,
So, I'll have to finish this later!
The End,,,,,,
For Now!
