You can make a bot to bard up for fun.
Start with a chatbot, written in past time.
Review and revise the code, line by line.
Code in a sonnet's structure, have it run:
Ten syllables by fourteen lines, and done.
If it uses doggerel, 'tis no crime,
So long as it takes care to place its rhyme
On a consistent scheme, then you have won.
The Petrarchan version is a classic:
A B B A A B B A and then
C D E C D E to finish up.
Alternately you can do Shakespearic.
Either way a template that it fills in.
With the right programs, you too can bard up.
