Susan B?

[Lee Gold]

After seeing yet another Susan B song, I find myself wondering if anyone
has written a Susan Calvin song to that tune.

(Based on Isaac Asimov's short story, "Evidence.")
Oh, Susan C,
That robot has been mean to me!
He's running for mayor now,
But he's not a man!
He stays up all night,
And he don't have civil rights!
Prove he's a robot, please?
Do what you can!

Sorry, darling Francis, but a robot can't be bad.
The Three Laws of Robotics means he's not a total cad.
And if he isn't human, well, don't let that make you sad.
For he's still the best man in the race who's running!

Thanks. I like it.

Hey nonny, nony Mouse -- well done. Now if we can just generate verses
for some of the other stories, so it's a bit more than showstopper length...

(I forgot to ask, but I strongly suspect that Bill Roper wrote "My
Husband Is A Filker" purely as a way to use up some of the one-verse
wonders he had lying around.)

I thought about filking the Susan Calvin of the movie, instead of the
short stories, and realized I didn't have nearly as much sympathy for
the movie setting as I did for Asimov's original. Don't get me wrong--
taken by itself, it was a good flick, but I had to think about it as a
non-Asimov story that swiped three details from his robots (Three
Laws, US Robotics, and Susan Calvin's name, if not her character).

Susan.
Tired reaction.
Susie of Calvin and Hobbs? Does she need/get a song? Susan Calvin in
her youth? Oh wondrously strange.

I've seen many science fiction stories where a robot replaced a
politician...... And in one of them it was not a good thing.
