Google's Birthday

Google (the search engine, not the kosher butter) celebrated its 7th birthday this past week, and with all of my preparations for the Jewish New Year and Yom Kippur (I took a bath) I forgot to pay homage to this great icon of the internet.

My friend Alison, over on her blog gave a nice nod of the head to our masters of the net, but I feel the need to enlarge on that bit, just a tittle.

Perhaps in verse:

Google, thy name is mine.
For whenever I look me up there I am.
With the stars of the universe.
And the canners of ham.

Endless are the websites you serve.
For all, the Christian, Jew, and perve.

Naked ladies and Popes with Christ.
You make us proud to click on you.
And best of all,
You care not what we do.

So celebrate, this seventh year.
With the light of knowledge,
Just the push of a button,
I am web glutton.

Long may you live sweet search engine 'o mine.
With porn and blogs and filched music devine.
And when the day comes that thee goes astray,
We'll look in Yahoo, to see what they say.
