    Well; what can one say, about the sexy robots on display. 
    They wont replace real women hooray.

    More seriously.. 
    Its a poem written about the oncoming  
    onslaught of the latest AI Robots that are now entering the sex industry. 
    It is a fanciful look into the probing of the mind of a Guy who engages with  
    his fantasy into a robot reality. 
    It opens his mind and his eye, to the thrills of his female quarry and the 
    wink with an 'Aye' sigh, into his forming relationship.  
    It is a fantasy poem which is now quickly becoming a possibility in reality !
