Dedicated to the techno-savvy “Bongs”

Monday, June 01st, 2009 | Author: Priya Nigam

Okay, so this is an effort at writing a limerick (in case you cant recognize it as one after reading it). It has been inspired by Microsoft’s “bing.com” (how it is any better than Google is beyond me).

Bing is going over my head

And Google has been my butter ‘n bread

The only way to make me unhitch

And get me to make this taxing switch

Is if they’d call it “Bong” instead.

All I’d like to say in my defense is that I have very little time… given a little more, I would be a poet genius (no no not gene-ass).

There once was a Bong in Veda
Who thought no poet was greater
She Googled all day
She Binged the night away
Can’t we please just trade her?

@ Romila

Do you really think you can tell
A bad poem from one that’s swell
Don’t dream of the trade
And expect to get paid
Even if you try desperately to sell

So you think you can tell
A poem that’s swell
Good rhymes from bad jokes
A pat on the back from funny pokes
So you think you can tell
And did you exchange your google for bing
Good rhyme for a fling
A cherished dream for things

Ok you get the message and I’m no David Gilmour

@ Romila

David Gilmour would be turning in his grave (expect that he’s not dead). I used to love that song before you murdered it.
