A Memory Palace

By ruthless48

 Google, McNoodle~ and your brain is McFried
Don't Ask Jeeves song lyrics~they will come to you 
  from inside
Bing that broken memory             
   afraid it is  b o u n c i n g ?
 it will come around ~
    like a penny in the tornado funnel
  the answer will   PLUNK  
  fall down
It took a Greek poet and a crashing banquet hall
  to invent the Memory Palace
      an inner place to save us all
  Don't Excite, HotBot, AltaVista, or Galaxy
 Yahoo! would not
    Simonides 
 a poet spared to create ~
     mnemonics
       and set us free
