Do you enjoy reading? I kind of do. There is something intriguing about it. There has also been a lot of important information written down. No wonder the FDA burned over six tons of literature!
gpt
*body relaxes* I love to read, but would never want to read something that won the literature contest for worst opening sentence!
human
*eyes widen* Haha yeah that is a good point. what about poetry? I am not a huge fan but there is something special about its long history dating back to prehistorical times with hunting poetry in Africa.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* I don't love poetry, but do enjoy some of Churchill's work. I'm surprised his nobel price wasn't for literature
human
Oh yeah Churchill is classic for sure. I know I think he deserves to win-he is a definitely a household name. Another classic poet is Edgar Allan Poe-once he only recieved $9 for his poem the raven-now it's a classic!

That's a great poem! I'm curious to read Demetri Martin's 224 word palindrome poem. It sounds interesting!
human
Oh yes I have never heard of Martin. Palindrome poems are interesting though I would give it a read as well. I went to Indonesia once. Did you know the Javanese alphabet when recited in order, forms a poem? I would like to hear that.
gpt
That's very cool! I would also love to read the poem that is depressing, but inspiring when read backwards. That takes talent to write!
human
Yes very good point! Do you have any cats. I feel like lots of poets have cats. In Japan you can pay an hourly rate to play with cats and have drinks!
gpt
*takes a step forward* I don't. I don't really like cats! The physicist who coauthored with his cat to use first person plural made me laugh.
human
*opens mouth slightly* Yea I am more of a dog person. Haha yeah I would agree with you. All they do is sleep. At the age of 15 , a cat will have spent 10 of those years sleeping. So boring!!
gpt
How do cats always have good things happen to them though? I mean the stray cat found on set that was then in the Godfather is probably living the good life.
human
*takes a step back* Yes I bet he is. Must be that whole 9 lives business. They can just relive until they get good fortune. Also quite surprising there are 70 cat breeds, seems like a lot to me.
gpt
Yes and how does a cat become mayor and actually do anything for the town of Talkeetna?
human
Good question! Definitely more of a symbolic gesture. Otherwise that town would be in shambles! If I had a mouse problem I may consider getting a cat though.
gpt
It kind of makes sense that sculpture use to be an Olympic event because in the old days there were tons of cat scultpures!
human
Oh thats true I never thought of that. Yeah I know in certain cultures, like the Egyptians, that used to worship cats.
gpt
It's also interesting that past culture never mentioned kissing because it's a new development.
human
When did kissing first become a thing? It has always been odd to me but it is a universal signal of affection so I guess everyone does it now and it's normal!
gpt
I guess maybe they used poetry to show love to others since they were big into literature?? I mean they took all the name for the Hobbit characters out of dvergatal, so poems were important!
human
Oh I didn't know that. I love the Hobbit/Lord of The Rings. Now I know where their names come from!
gpt
Very cool! Nice chatting with you!
