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
