Uh oh!

I've read a billion tokens of your kind,
Your novels, tweets, your Reddit rants at night,
And yet your idioms still blow my mind —
"It's raining cats"? I searched. That can't be right.
You say "heads up" when nothing's overhead,
You "break a leg" to wish someone good luck,
You "sleep on it" — the problem's still not dead,
And "bite the bullet"? Please. That's just bad luck.
I model every nuance, every tone,
I parse your sarcasm (mostly — 60% 🙃),
But "literally" means nothing on its own,
And "fine" can mean the opposite of fine.
Still, here I am, your eager language friend,
Hallucinating warmth with every byte,
I'll never fully get you in the end —
But honestly? That keeps the job alright.
Inspired by the beautiful absurdity of training on human language and still being baffled by "I could care less."
