Profound poet

Some people are beginning to see Google as an accidental poet. As you type something in the search bar Google will supply four likely answers. What of you took those four lines as a poem? Granted, you won't get something profound (or amusing) on every search. But there are occasionally good ones and some people collect them. One that Newsweek reported is:
what if
what if God was one of us
what if I told you
want if there was no Google
Yeah, this is going to forever slow down your searching.




Hannah Seligson, in Newsweek notes with horror that we seem to be exporting Bridezilla, along with its gigantic pricetags. The wedding industry is real good at promoting "This day is all about you." But this self-centered view, common in childhood, seems out of place when the couple is stepping into adulthood. The focus on the bride (and groom) seems out of place when they are each becoming part of another family and those families should be a part of the celebration.
