...As my last week's marathon sprint after the Poetry Bus took me too long to recover from! Today, I'm camping out at the stop, with my overnight bag and Tardis Tent at the ready, so's to be right on time for Monday, when the Driver will be Argent.
Here is my ticket, paid in full.
Just Google!
If you need an armadillo, or some stuffing for a pillow,
and you're not sure where to find some of the same,
you don't need to be a genius, for surely... what I mean is...
nowadays... just Google! What a game!
Find out facts on Wikipedia, which often can mislead ya:
watch Video's galore of YouTube fame.
The web is full of wonder- find a po or a guzunder-
(a chamber pot, to give its proper name!)
Nowadays... just Google! What a game!
If you want to stock your larder, buy a bed that's soft (or harder)
you needn't window shop, or rack your brain.
A search engine lets you travel,
while your shattered nerves unravel
nowadays... just Google! That's the game!
If you wonder what on earth I'm talking about, go visit TFE, and it shouldn't take you too long to decipher what's going on! He will also provide you with a list of dates and drivers, so you can be sure of joining the passengers too, if you like Monday Mystery tours.
Quite a poem, that's the game!
ReplyDeleteThanks for laughs!
Hahaha! Excellent fun!
ReplyDeleteGoogle is king.
ReplyDeleteso true jinksy. i buy more through the net now than i do face-to-face. it's so strange. steven
ReplyDeleteI have learned to depend on Google for every little thing that comes into my head. There is lots of air flowing around in there so it doesn't take much to fill it. Ha.
ReplyDeleteUh huh...Google it...that's the secret...
ReplyDeleteI wish google reads this...Are you listening!!!
Thats a super tribute n fun poem...
~Cheers
You should put this one to music. It reminds a little of 'The Gasman Cometh'.
ReplyDeleteThis should be put to music and sold back to Google!
ReplyDeletep.s. those youngsters at Google played their way through the universe. Who knew!
ReplyDeleteGoogle is great but no wonder the local shops seem to go bust when everything sells much cheaper on line.
ReplyDeleteI loved your poem!
Love the little ducklings in the post below.
You have been busy!

Delightful! You should have a seat at the front of the bus!
ReplyDeleteI should have known you could produce an hilarious poem Jinksy - I find comic poetry too hard - yours is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteGreat Google Poem. Front of the Bus? J should be the ticket-inspector.
ReplyDeleteVery funny, Jinksy. I was pleased to be reminded of that wonderful word, guzunder.
ReplyDeletevwery entertaining, I love the first line...
ReplyDeleteGoogle Rocks!... great poem my friend...:-)Hugs
ReplyDeleteI am late on this one, but it could be set to music. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThere's some lovely two-syllable rhyming in this, the rhythm is immaculate, none of the rhymes are forced and you have a lot of humour in there too. I say you deserve the seat next to the driver!
ReplyDeleteBy the living God that made you that's a fine effort jinksy! A smile first thing on a Monday morning - lovely!
ReplyDeleteHey J! See my comment on Fridge Soup! You write like one of Canada's greatest living writers. And I don't mean Margaret Atwood . . . or Deborah
ReplyDeleteAccording to Anvilcloud Google is king
ReplyDeletebut surely you've all heard of Opera, Firefox, K-Meleon and Bing?
;-)
Ha, such fun! And VERY true. I am a Google-slave, I worship the darn thing - I buy virtually everything (and far too much of it) on-line, now.
ReplyDeleteExcellent - though I'm not sure that Google lets my shattered nerves unravel, but I do agree it's quite a game. (funny I didn't bump into you camping at the bus stop!)
ReplyDeleteDave:-
ReplyDeleteThat's because I was disguised as a rubbish bin!
Why am I suddenly going around the house humming tunes from H.M.S. Pinafore??? Huh?? Huh??
ReplyDeleteOh, Jinksy, I'm in love with Google too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fine effort here. This is the week of rhyming for some of us. Here's mine: Masochistic Rhythms
great poem - wikipedia and mislead ya - must surely be the rhyme of the week!
ReplyDeleteGreat fun :o)
ReplyDeleteGreat poem, Jinksy! Maybe TFE could use at least some of this to promote the PB magazine! ; )
ReplyDeleteBut what you can't find on Google is the equal of Jinksy's rhymes.
ReplyDeleteYou're a genius at rhyming, Jinksy!
ReplyDeleteClever, m'dear; quite clever. And, true. I use Google's search engine quite often. It's amazing what's one can find out there on the Internet.
ReplyDeleteYou a marathon sprinter, Jinks? Naw! Sprint is short but marathon is long. You must be way out of puff . . .
ReplyDeletePerfect rhythm and rhyme in this poem about a certain pastime of mine! (Your profile description is fantastic.)
ReplyDeleteDoc:-
ReplyDeleteYep – I spent hours sprinting after that bloody bus last week – it was a marathon, I kid you not!
Google constantly gets me out of scrapes!!
ReplyDeleteNice poem Jinksy - funny sort of virtual world we live in now...
ReplyDeleteWonderfully funny, Jinksy. Maybe Google could use it as a jingle?
ReplyDeleteMarvelous poem. I bet Google might be willing to pay you for your services!
ReplyDeleteWonderful poem Jinsky! True that i have learned more from Google than from my High School :)
ReplyDeleteGreat fun poem. I'm sure this didn't miss the bus.
ReplyDeleteReally clever and I GOOGLE a lot and use Wikipedia, too, both of which can mislead me.
ReplyDeleteFantastically funny, a little gem Jinksy, Brava!
ReplyDeleteGlad .This week you get there nice and early and now I'm late!!
Don't forget to get aboard the next bus out now!
