The pyrrhic/spondee substitution

[wasellajam]

Today I saw a sight that puzzled me:
an abacus wielding robot: redundancy
made manifest. A Sigmund Freud
reading humanoid
I next observed. The sick android
people watched, fair maidens perved.
What now? Machine writ poetry
on the horror of rust, metallic void?

It’s not a spondee
I just wanted to use “abacus”

ha, rusty as I am it was hard work to read and figure out the meter at the the same time but seems very well done to me.

I have already spent an inordinate amount of time on abacus, now try it as an end rhyme, or don't lol. But what leaves me flummoxed dealing with meter is the problem of sometimes finding out that you, and your community, do not pronounce a word the same way as the rest of the world does. Decisions must be made.
