Hahaha, what a great little poem! After rereading several times, I think you do set us up for the final line, but it isn't obvious. I loved your picture also.

Thank you Zevona. I'm so glad you got it. Many didn't.
Comment from closetpoetjester
Haha, this gave me a goog..oops I mean a giggle when I got to the clincher because I thought it was a nicely rhymed bit of Lord praising and then I find this poem is infact a literary shrine to my mate and yours, Google.
I agree. He IS The Light
I have a poem started about him myself in a similar vein
He really DOES have all the answers don't he?!
Anyways, one line I didn't like. It felt a bit clumsy and awkward with the "I've only" preceding the rest:
I realize I've only to turn to you.
I mean I know what it's saying and I understand the abbreviations but it just felt a little odd to my ear.
Some suggestions to smooth or improve might be:
I realize I only need turn to you
I realize I need only turn to you
I realize I just have to turn to you
Enjoyed the read immensely anyway and best of luck in the contest. This has my vote on comedy value.
cheers P

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm glad you got the humour, so many didn't.
-
Well you got my vote.
Not enough funny stuff here I'm afraid.
Too much depressing crap.
-
I agree but they only vote for depressing crap
-
I know. That's why I gave up wasting my time and effort on contests LONG ago haha
You have a great sense of humour anyway. Don't compromise it for one of these dodgy contests

Thanks. I think you and I are on the same page.x

More 'n likely LOL
Good luck.
You're a winner in my book!
Comment from Asem.inspirations
I really like this poem. It is such a smart idea. I truly appreciate Mr. Google too. No matter what question you ask of it, it gives you a thorough answer immediately. Google is amazing and I am so happy that I don't have to go to my many, many, many books anymore to do the research. All I do now is google everything. They do all of the work for me and so this thank you is so appropriate.

Jenintorre, this is a cute little poem. I read it thinking it was a prayer being said before bedtime and when I reach the end it was all about thanks to Mr Google. A fun and enjoyable read. ~DD

I liked your thank you poem., "My Little Helper". You rhymed it well though I had never thought of thanking Mr. Google before.
All the best in the contest.

Good one! Thanks for bringing me a chuckle today. I did not see that ending coming! Very cute and clever! Sometimes I'm not sure how I ever survived without the Internet and Mr. Google. Very nicely written and a fun entry for the contest. Best of luck to you! :)

A very well-written poem of thanks. Mr Google helped many of us to obtain knowledge when we search for answers or information we need. A true willing helper at any time.

This is my first glimpse of Mr. Google!! Thanks so much for exposing him. I have a bone to pick with him regarding my privacy!
Seriously, Google is wonderful, and I thank him/her, as well. I find it difficult to trusty most sources on the web without verification, but Google is a good jumping off place.

Robyn thanks. You are the first one that has realized this was a bit of fun and not serious. I never use Google for writing only Wikipedia mainly. X
