In Santa’s store, so shiny and neat, A robotic marched on steel toes. With tinsel arms and bolts so tight, It trimmed the tree all by the night time. It hummed a carol, beeped with cheer, “Processing pleasure—it’s Christmas right here!” However when it tried to bop with grace, It tangled lights round its face. “Error detected!” it spun round, Then tripped and tumbled to the bottom. The elves all laughed, “You’ve achieved your half—A slipshod bot, however with a coronary heart!” The ArtiMinds staff want to thank all companions and clients for an thrilling 2024. We want you and your households a Merry Christmas, joyful holidays and a Joyful New 12 months – keep wholesome.
