Oh Google, oh Google,
none could hope to compare.
You're simply fantastic!
Your smarts must be shared.
I'm awed by your wisdom,
you have instant results
'bout the latest celebrities
or brain-washing cults.
My heart goes to Google
and your wonderous feats.
You far surpass Yahoo;
Bing just can't compete!
You come from the heavens,
search engine on high.
Type in any old word,
and results reach the skies!
They might not make sense;
oftentimes it's not right.
But, hey, there are thousands!
You could Google all night!
On whatever the topic,
an image you need,
Google can do it!
And there's even no fee!
So, a message to all of
you people out there.
To all of you writers
or stylists of hair.
To any with problems,
or in need of a laugh.
For a student whose homework
was dropped in the bath.
The word of all words,
that calls for high praise.
Let's be thankful for Google!
All hail, all our days!

Haha I love this. Google is truly in debt to you and your praise. Cute. Very cute. I'm a big fan of google myswlf(yahoo and bing just aren't good enough for me, lol). I love the rhyme scheme here and the humor. I don't see anything wrong. This was very creative, dunno who would think to right an ode for a search site. My favorite line: To any with problems or a need of a laugh. For a student who's homework was dropped into the both. I don't know how many times I've used google to assist in my homework when it gets ruined. Very good. I'll be following for more.
Oh this is cool! I am sure Google would love to have this posted on a Google website!
So This is a great humor poem; hmm... I cant seem to find any mistakes... Well then great job! It really made my day (and a lot of other people's!)
So I guess keep up the great work! Stay blessed!
I liked how the piece was fun and joyful. It really made me appreciate google(haha). Overall, grammar was pretty on point.
Your word choice was appropriate for the text and the rhymes really helped with the flow of things.
I found the topic to be very interesting. I mean, who would ever think to write a poem on Google? It was also humorous to read which made it even more better.
As for critique....Hmmm.... I can't seem to find anything wrong! Great job.
This poem is so cute! It might not be highly sophisticated, but that doesn't mean it's bad. Sometimes it's really nice to just read a poem for the sheer joy of something that rhymes and brings enjoyment because of the creative way it was written. For the younger age group on this website it's really nice for them to read and not have to interpret too much. I personally enjoyed reading it, and will probably show my little sibling. It's a great starter poem for younger children to become interested. All in all a good poem. Keep up the good work!
Hey.
I mean it. Genuinely. It's a kiddie poem (by your age that time?) and it's kinda the type that floats the schools for years. Now I don't know who was stalking you and how all of a sudden this old piece became featured, but it is good to be featured actually.
2009?? This is soo sooo soooo old, but nonetheless, it's awesome
I can't criticize because obviously, the context is so different. Haha good one
Keep writing and stay blessed.
xoxo
Oh, balls. For a moment I thought Evi had returned.
Hey folks -- don't revive five-year-old threads. It's mean.
I feel like this was super cheesy, but I liked it, nonetheless! You're choice of words and your rhyming were both great. You left a constant rhythm in my head, one I can't seem to get rid of. I can imagine staying up all night and googling any odd thing that comes to mind. I can also see someone doing their homework in their bathtub. The only thing that bothers me, is how need and fee don't necessarily rhyme.
You did a good job on this.

Heyo, xJ here for a review.
I thought this poem was cute and humorous. And actually quite true. I appreciated how you made it rhyme. And to be honest, this could be made into a song. And I liked the use of "cult" which is not a common word! Kudos to you.
Overall, I liked it, but It feels like an advertisement in the form of a poem. But nice work nonetheless.
May your travels through space and time be merry,
-xJ ❤︎
Nice quirky poem. Liked it!
Hello! A light-hearted and fun poem, here. I'm unsure of the rhyming of need and fee though, and I have visions of a student doing their homework and scrubbing their back in the tub at the same time! Your rhyming was mostly good though, and it has a good, fast rhythm and sprightly tone! Well done.
Wow, um. Thank you all so much for you kind words and your likes, but this thing is over two years old, and it should really stop resurrecting by now. xD Therefore, *locked*
This is awesome! I agree that some of the rhyming seemed forced, but overall, it was funny and true
Very enjoyable read.
Evi!

This poem is really good. It made me laugh, it's so true. We owe everything to google! How did you come up with such an original idea? It's preeeetty smart-I like it a lot!
Your rhyming was excellent and had quite a choppy quirky pace which fitted in with the whole idea. Yo must have really thought of everything when you decided to post this.
The words flowed well and your sense of humour was jumping of the page. I think you did a really good job of capturing how much google does for us and how much we depend on it.
Well done, another amazing work. This deserves to be featured-you made me smile..
Kaka xo
ANOTHER LIKE FOR YOU!!!!!
Very nicely done, Evi. You’ve captured the heart, mind and gratitude of a generation who have been practically raised with Google. I like your style of poetry and rhyming, how you’ve managed to capture sheer gratitude and form it into easy, simple sentences which make sense, and me chuckle.
Keep up the good work!
I liked it. I was good. I don't think I could live without Google (or Young Writers Society). Well done and keep writing!
Awesome. I loved how you had all those different things like hair stylists, writers, cults, and homework help. Boy can you find it in Google.....
Your poem reads well, it's like Dr. Suess, the way I read it. It bounces! I love it
I love this poem, you are one of the first persons to have a steady rhythm! You should read this out loud to yourself. It sounds so good, rather like a Dr. Seuss like rhythm - It's amazing! This is really cute. You chose a topic that everyone can relate to and that you know about. I see all the time when people try to write about things they have never experienced, like love when they've never been in love, or war when they've never fought. I know I sound like I'm rambling but I really do love this poem.
I'm quoting my half-awake twelve-year-old sister to start off with: "Whoever wrote that should send that in!"
This is was so.. perfect (and yes, I tend to use this word a lot- But I seriously mean it!) in every way, shape, and form. I absolutely love Google, as most people do, so this immeadiately caught my eye. It was witty, flowed really well, and was just an all around fun poem to read.
This was my favorite part. It was a very quirky, Dr. Seuss-like thing to add. It explained the range of Google users in a very cute way.
Flawless.
-Eme
Oh. My. Google. You've made my day!
Hey, Evi!
Wow, I'm a huge fan of google, lol. This poem is so true that I'm still smiling from reading this. And like a few said though, it seems like your rhyming was forced a bit. But this is Brilliant ! Keep writing about google!
M.H.Darling
Awesome to see something a bit on the lighter side, I like to see randomness at times and this was definitely it! Could totally see this becoming a song sung by a ukulele player (don't ask).
Yeah, yeah, rhymes can sound forced but in this instance it adds to the little quirky charm of this poem and makes it that more lovable in my opinion. And besides, everybody seems to like it regardless!
I thought that this was amazing, and I can totally relate. But some of the lines seemed like they were only there because they had to rhyme. Other than that, amazing.
Hah. Funny.
This is very creative and witty and really enjoyable. It made me chuckle. You really do have a talent.
. . . It reminds me of an ode I once read about a diccionary.
Anyways, nice job. Keep posting!
Ha ha ha... long live Google! I laughed my head off the entire time...seriously.
It's about time someone wrote a testament to the awesomeness of Google! It was truly brilliant... obviously written for fun, but still, truly brilliant! The best laugh I've had all day! Write on, Evi! Evi Ralu Mada! (Evi rocks!)
KayCWriter
This made me laugh so hard!!! It's truly great, I could never write something like this. It almost reminded me of something Dr. Seuss would write. It wasn't serious at all, but you could tell there was a lot of talent in there. Good job! I can't wait to read more of your work!
I love this, it made me smile! I think it's a good laugh and I enjoyed it thoroughly!
I have actually dropped a revision guide in the bath, so I this made me giggle a fair bit!I love this bit
thank you for making me laugh!
~ Roon
I love it! =]
This made me chuckle.
My favourite bit? This.
'bout the latest celebrities
or brain-washing cults.
Lol.
I do think some of your rhymes sounded forced, but as if I even care! It's brilliant, and I don't really think you had great literary ambitions for it when you wrote it.
xxxxx
that was simply amazing: D very catchy! and it made sence, thse things usually dont so i was really pleasantly surprised =)
so true...whats with the old word, really dont understand the point of: old
oftentimeis they're not right is better then it's cause plural works better here.
change the an image to or image i would say... and there's even, i don tlike the even it spoils the verse a bit.
besides those meaningless pointings i made, great poem!! very creative
this is brilliantly worded.
it made me laugh a little, even.
amusing, and true.
i have no criticism for this!!!
good job(:
Haha, nice one Evi!
Oh, this just made me laugh, 'cause it is so true.
All hail Google - the almighty!

Hi Evi ^^ Shina here
Lucky you, there's not much to review! (oh shoot! I'm speaking in rhyme now)
It's true though Ev, this poem is really catchy. Everything seems like a rhyme in my head now, it's kind of cool. You're a really good poet (and possibly writer once I get to your short stories and novels). I know you're sensitive about age, but I hear you. I'm thirteen on this site, so just a year or possibly less older than you xD But to be honest, some of the younger ones here on YWS surpass the works of the older YWS members. As young writers, we have all these fresh ideas. We still see the world in color unlike adults whose color vision begins fading to gray. I want you to keep that color vision like I hope to also
Now onto your poem. The rhyme scheme is really catchy as I said, and since a lot of other people got most of the other things in this poem, I haven't much else. But I can say the flow in this poem was a lot better than the butterfly poem. The words connected!
*gold star*
<3 Shina
PS: I have some mini moon avatars in my photobucket. PM me if you need anymore xD
He he.
One rhythm error, I think. Stanza 3 "comcast just can't compete" cut "just."
Othere than that, for fun, it was brilliant. I don't want to criticise.
Ah google.
Ever typed your name into google just for curiosity's sake? No results for mine! Except to tell me that I spelt it wrong.
I digress
Lol, I totally agree. Google rocks!
Earlier, I was trying to get onto Google to show my friend a picture of this car I love (a Pagani Zonda)
And it kept saying my signature (or whatever) was like a virus, so yeahhh
I had to use ask.com
And it's absolutely rubbish.
Brilliant randomness, m'dear.
~Gold Star for sheer awesomeness!
Great to see another poem that isn't depressing. This reminds me a lot of Dr Seuss, which is great for you because he's one of the only poets I know of who actually made real money from poetry. The so called "Forced rhymes" are part of the humour as far as I'm concerned.
What you say about Google is so true, it's something we all take for granted, but its almost vital to everyday life.
wow
This is so crazy it's actually funny. I mean; just the title made me laugh! How do you make something be so random. Poor kid, dropping his homework in the bath. Hopefully it wasn't a twenty paged hand-written project! Lol.
You must of been ever so bored to do this (and crazy, mind you!).
Madam voice: ''What a stupid thing to do, my little Evi!'' She then mumbled something; sound a bit like ''Dumb-ass...''
OhMyGod, this was hilarious. The rhyme in this felt natural and flowed really well. I didn't see any rhythm problems. But, I can't punctuate for my life, so...
)
Google is amazing and I looooove this poem<3...It's so...original...
Amazing idea and amazing job writing it...
One of the few times I didn't have any nitpicks so gold star for you (and partly because it's about google
<3fluteluvr77
i never knew one could like google this much!!
, of course i mean 'silly' in the best way!)
i love this poem, great rhythm and its just fun to read!
the title also is funny!
i dont know what it is but something about making and "Ode" to google is hilarious!!!
being able to write about just anything is real talent and i admire you for your ability, keep it up and no matter what never get discouraged!
(you should also really make more silly poems like this one
Haha, this is so clever! Yes, Google's fantatstic!
Love your sense of rhythm. It's so consistent, and the rhyme scheme is genius.
I know this isn't much of a review, but how can you critique brilliance? Amazing job!
haha this was funny. extremely entertaining. Obviously not a deep poem, but who says that poems need to be deep. The rhyme was almost perfect aside from that line about the bath. It was very easy to read through and very true, because who hasn't used google to find out something they don't know. haha as random as it may be google is always there. Very creative poem, and a very funny title: "an ode to google"
Hahaha, Evi. That was great.
However, a few things I'd like to point out:
Here, the last line breaks the rhythm; it's too long. Maybe just take out the 'just'.
'Type in any old word' sounds a bit awkward. I think it's a bit too short.
You probably out that 'stylists of hair' just to make it rhyme, and it shows. Then again, the rhyme works, so let's be grateful about that.
These are a few of my favourite things:
Love love.
Oh. What would we do without you, big G?
This was very amusing, so keep on doing whatever you enjoy doing!

That was most defintaly the most random poem. Ever. I started cracking up. Really, I did. It proved I have no life what so ever. Anyway, great poem!
I don't know how everyone else was able to review it. I can't. It's so...True.
None can compare to the mightyness of Google!
Hahaha, I really enjoyed this. I laughed throughout, and I thought it was really cute.
Good job :]
Oh my.
I absolutely adored this poem.
It was 100% right with how Google is used and looked upon.
Very nice style and use of words.
I do agree with some above that some rhymes were a bit forced, but they were nicely matched up.
Very good job overall.
Keeping writing like this! =3

Awesome.

Thanks to everybody who had a look at this. I don't really need an in-depth critique, just maybe some feedback on rhythym and rhyming. If anyone has punctuation advice, I'd welcome it. I'm not sure exactly how you're supposed to punctuate a poem.
Thanks, and glad you enjoyed it!
~Evi
Evi, this was quite brilliant,
a bit random, and I am not sure how you actually thought this up..
I do have the same sentiments about Google though, Google addicts unite!
anyways, like has been already mentioned, this looks like a poem for pure fun, if not, I would gladly critique it more in depth... not that it has much depth to critique.
Peace,
God
Hey Evi!
I laughed out loud when I read this. Honestly.
How did you come up with this? Absolutely brilliant!
The rhythm was lovely and felt incredibly natural. You seem like the kind of person who can just come up with stuff like this on the spot.
One thing (and I'm not even sure if I'm correct), but I think there were a few punctuation errors.
I'm not going to point those out because I fail epically at punctuation...especially when it comes to poetry.
Other than that, kudos! Gold star, Evi!
I'm still cracking up over this bit.
*anti-pop
The second you're should be your. But, as a little bit of fun, I liked it! Some of the rhyming was a bit forced, but the rhythm was superb! Long live Google!
This gave me a laugh and was quite true. Although, I wouldn't imagine anyone really giving this a review. If you want a line by line of course and you find this very serious let me know. You are truely talented to be able to write a poem about google. Your rhymes didn't sound forced, except for maybe one line. The one about the kid who dropped his homework in the bath sounded forced. Other than that great job. You certainly conveyed emotion.
Good luck with your writing.
