When you draw a robot, it is said,
you always start with a square head.
To avoid rust he never cries,

He can travel north and south,
give him now a robot mouth.
This robot is not a wreck,
so give him a nice long neck.
Now don’t make him look shoddy,
draw him a mechanical body.

If you sound the alarms,
he will protect us with two strong arms.
In case he falls, to help him land,
draw him a left and right hand.
You could watch him do a robot dance,
if you give him some crazy pants.
Toward the bottom of this sheet,
have him walk on his own two feet.
Now to end this dilemma,
