The Google Poem

Now I went to college many years ago

But I'm sure there were things I missed

'Cause some of the words I read today

Well, they just didn't exist

I knew all the words like "thee" and "thou"

Like Shakespeare wrote about

The poems were simple with simple words

And my knowledge was never in doubt

Words by the masters were easy to read

Like Dickinson, Poe and Frost

But somewhere on this road to fame

All the easy words got lost

It has to be this computer age

At least that's what I think

'Cause if the poets of old wrote these words

They'd keep on running out of ink

So keep on writing your great big words

Like a bugler blowing his bugle

'Cause I'm the smartest man who ever lived

Thanks to a thing called Google

haha a wonderful write, even though i am part of the "computer generation", i find it kinda frustrating at these poems that are fancy and round-about that the truth is swaddled... i think the biggest word used to be "super-cali-frage-listic-xp-ala-do-shis" mary poppins yo :)
