Ode To My Search Engine
Google, You Know Who You Are
Ode to my search engine (Google, if you need to know)
For all the things I think of, and must know, around 3 -
The AM, is the best time to search, (I can’t sleep)
I owe you my gratitude, and oh, so much more.
You give me 500 answers to choose from, and all before 4.
(Who was that actress, what show was she on?)
[How many episodes, why did it air so long?]
Google or Explorer, Bing, Yahoo and more,
Google serves me best, if I have to keep score.)
You don’t sigh or gasp at the questions I ask,
or throw my phone across the floor. (Not that I have)
Sometimes, when I’m searching, you help me along.
you drop out suggestions, if I've spelled something wrong.
If I google some music, you pull up some tunes -
and play me a new list, to cause me to swoon.
Ode to your knowledge and patience with me,
you take me to places; I may never see.
You explain the universe and the latest alien views,
I know there are days, I may seem nonnative too!
But no matter what, you are there by my side,
saving in my history, searches I should hide: >}
Never in my life would I have imagined a way,
that I could get all the answers - any time, any place.
So, ode to you, Google, I'm sure glad you're around,
you're the easiest way to make me look smarter, I have found.

"Hey, Google...." Off & on through every day & night, what I hear from the family room as my wife watches tv. She claims to be a luddite, but she holds tight to her phone, lol.
Awww, this was soooo adorable! Google loves you too!
That was very cute!
