Meet George JetSet
A Truly Rosie Morning in 2150 for Tim Carmichael’s Unofficial Challenge: Time Traveler Poetry for National Poetry Month

‘Wake up sir. Time for your sonic shower.”
“Go away Rosie,” I muttered with a glower.
“Curtains translucent,” her tinny reply.
“Deities below!” I shouted, sun in my eyes.
As the levitation field activated, I found my self erect;
Facing an array of buttons from which to select
Choosing cleansing spray-tan and blond for my hair,
I decided to not let Rosie ruin a day fair.
Tanned and bleached I said “Bring me my clothes,”
“Also an epidermal swipe for this shiny nose.”
Rosie zipped up, her titanium arms stacked:
An assortment of outfits, choice not lacked.
Sonic shorts for the legs; Programmable shirt for my torso:
As she patted them smooth, gentleness she did not forego.
I synthesized some coffee, caffeine added.
Zipped 0n mesh loafers liberally siliconed and padded.
Stepping 0n the balcony I looked down from above;
Knowing a fall wasn’t possible, open air just for show.
With a chuckle I pushed at the transparent shielding
Surrounding my high perch, surface unyielding.
As my SkyCab zipped up I turned off the field
Clambered up the ramp into cabin tight sealed.
Off to the beach I instructed the robo-driver.
‘Bye George,” Rosie waved and vibed a high-fiver.

Is this based on the Jetson cartoon? I've not watched any episode before, so I don't know if any of these are references 😅😅 Loved your poem!
This is great, good luck to you!
