Hark! Joanna, Fair Maid

I fed ChatGPT the following: Joanna is a seamstress who likes rug hooking, smocking and embroidery. Write a poem about her using King James Bible English. Twelve seconds later it replied.

Hark! Joanna, fair maid, a seamstress of repute,
In rug hooking, smocking, and embroidery astute.
Her needle swift doth weave, and threads doth intertwine,
With deftness and with skill, unmatched by all mankind.

The tapestries she maketh are wondrous to behold,
With vibrant hues and patterns, like stories to unfold.
In every stitch she sews, there lies a tale untold,
Of beauty, grace, and love, that doth her art uphold.

Like Rachel of old, who spun fine linen threads,
Joanna's handiwork doth bring joy to many beds.
Her coverlets and quilts, like soft and downy clouds,
Doth keep us warm and snug, as we sleep safe and sound.

So let us give her praise, and honour her craft divine,
For every work she maketh, is a glory to mankind.
May her art endure forever, and her fame resound on high,
Like the heavens above, that stretcheth to the sky.
