Impressed by prateek's blog on Turing Test( http://prateekkhurana.co.nr )...I thought i should also try out the bot chat programs ...so there i was Chatting with "Catty"- a simulation bot which searches the net for the words you use in your sentences and accordingly replies (http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/c3-2.shtml)...and here is an account of our conversation!

Cat and mouse

The cat looked into the hole full of darkness
and there sat a mouse trying to hide from its eyes in the starkness....

The little fellow had no chance of a survival in the gloom
but the cat was unable to enter with the lack of room.......

Was there any other way in?...the wily mind ran to find it
Could the mouse probably have been hit?....

Round and round the evil feline went.......
Searching for any way , any vent......

The feeble mouse shivered and shook......
"What is the cat upto???",he couldn't even look....

Finally a light in the dark shone for both of them....
The cat fitted itself through and the mouse ran...

Out of the hollow shell there ran a small brook...
Wary of the water, happily this plunge the mouse took...

It struggled to keep its nose above the water
for a long time it swam and grew weary of the water's patter......

Finally it reached the shore and shook itself dry....
but suddenly froze when it heard the cat's cry...

The felid animal had finally managed to squeeze itself through...
but the defeat by the mouse for many a clock did it rue.....

One of the tribe of stars

A deep breath and then I let go
a bit sad, a bit confused though

feeling the wind passing me
and the earth calling me

saying goodbye to those who loved me
and hope they won't remember me

the light seemed to be failing me
sweet-voiced birds calling out of a tree

darkness swept me into its hold
feeling like I was ages old

no voices, no anger, no tears,
even as my body veers,

the end is quite near and yet so far
let me be another one of the magnificent tribe of a star
