Advancing clockature?

Mind stretch for the holidays
... aka "I think I'm thinking."
If I were a clockature
... and you were a lady
would you marry me anyway?
... would you have my baby?
Link the familiar tune while considering
that a computer is more clock than human.
Only when clock exhibits that which is human
does computer begin to qualify as human ...
if it demonstrates believable clockature
Does a clock work? play? think? fear?
rest? dream? and oft shed a tear?
Show its love through loneliness?
Show its love through sorrow?
I'll give you my onlyness -
give me your tomorrow.
In this exercise, 'clockature' becomes a new word describing belief
that robots are becoming human (but actually just more humanoid).
If 'robot' replaced 'clock', 'human-like' is immediate perception.
