> a noun that sounds like an adjective being cleverly used as one?

English? ;)

Made me do it, anastrophic did.

Starry Google

Starry, starry search
Paint your logo yellow, blue and gray
Look out on a late March day
With eyes that know the darkness of my search
Monitor shadows like a birch --
I'll get some Windex cleaning fast
Catch the breeze as I wipe past
A kaleidoscope until the wetness dries

For Google could not find you
But still their search was true
And when no hope was left onsite
On that starry, starry night
I gave it up --
Web junkies often do

But I could have told you, Google
My search was never meant for one as Vincentlike as you

Great work, Saranita. On the verse that is - one should NEVER use window cleaning fluid on a monitor, as I'm sure you know well.

Vernon, you are quite right, of course. Still -- the pretty colors are a great temptation.
