Google Poetics is an awesome web site and Twitter account which collects poems based on the ‘instant’ suggestions Google offers for searches. Many of the poems are touching/hilarious/impressively surreal, and a surprising number have relevance to IT workers.
A poem only qualifies if it contains the exact suggestions Google offers, in order. As the Poetics team notes, instant suggestions vary depending on country and your search history, so you won’t always be able to reproduce these. Just enjoy them.
