Analysis of Christmas Robot

Ronald Bunch 1982 (Grand Rapids)



Oh there it is jammin' along.
It raps and it raps a song.

Chilled in the weather it dances for coin.
It has no skin or a tenderloin.

Once paid it will give you free hot chocolate.
Its master's bidding is its fate.

Now you see the dancing and singing,
Know it's for a charity for bringing.

The mentally ill don't have to suffer.
Pay the robot and watch it hover.

See downtown and the shining Christmas star
Shining and lighting up the night, the robot's not far.

The robot is the Christmas star twinkling.
Know the robot and master see the giving.
