Little Bill Gates
Sat lying in wait
For his share of the online media pie.
But he knew it
was dumb
To keep sitting on his thumb
So he let 6 billion dollars fly.

Google, Google, privacy eater,
Had my data and tried to keep her,
Put her in a black box shell
How they'll use her, time will tell.

Have you ever seen such a frienemy in all your life,
As three wise men?

To give her poor brand a boost;
But she soon became aware,
There was no peanut butter to spare;
Will things change with her ruling the roost?

In the style of There Was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe
There was an ole woman who worked at Yahoo
Had so many products, she didn't know what to do.

Then made things Right after flipping the org chart on its head.
Barry Had a Little Butler
To the tune of
Mary Had a Little Lamb
Barry had a little butler, little butler, little butler,
Barry had a little butler, whose stale brand began to show.
Until the day that
Barry said, Barry said, Barry said,
Until the day that Barry said, that butler's got to go!
So he
sent ole Jeeves out on his way, on his way, on his way
He sent ole Jeeves out on his way, and shortened it to Ask.
Then he set out to rule the world, rule the world, rule the
word,
Then he set out to rule the world, but his engine's next to last.
So now he's rolled out
Ask 3D, Ask 3D, Ask 3D,
Now he's rolled out Ask 3D and it might give him a chance.
As for how Jeeves is holding up, holding up, holding up,
As for how Jeeves is holding
up, he's now serving at the Google Dance.

How will your search share grow?
Launch bells and whistles like Bush drops missiles,
But brand your algorithm? I don't think so.

And this little wiki is a Wale of a try to send Google crying all the way home.

When Church was separate from State,
But GoogleClickYaRightMediaMicQuantiveWP7
Has sure wiped clean that slate.
Little Miss
Muffet
(Didn't change the words here, just inserted analogies)
Little Miss Muffet (read: media agencies and content publishers)
Sat on her tuffet
(read: keister)
Eating her curds and whey (read: making money).
Along came a spider (read: Google)
Who sat down beside her (read: disintermediated)
And
frightened Miss Muffet away (read: the sky is falling, the sky is falling!)
Good night... and good luck.
