God, getting up to speed44 total reviews
Comment from Rosemary Everson1
What a clever poem telling the story of God and how He would use technology. I think the good venture of Him getting all the email addresses and sending them answers is very logical.

Thanks for the review, Rosemary. God, being from the old school, I thought He might not like computers.
Comment from Mintybee
This was funny. I imagine your poem is what it would look like if a human tried to do God's job. Actually, I think there's a similar scene in Bruce Almighty where the filing cabinet isn't enough, Post-Its don't work, and he does resort to email. I think several million people win the lottery when he sends a group "Yes" to everyone. It's a concept that's been done before, but your particular tone, and attention to detail, made it a smile-worthy read.

Thanks for the review, Mintybee. I've never seen Bruce Almighty. I've got to try to find that movie.
Comment from Kaiku
I find it rather annoying that you are so well versed in the data gathering process as I am challenged at every turn. Ha ha. Clever writing that stumped my thick headedness. Just kidding. Funny write.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
A very inventive and enjoyable verse crafted in flowing rhymed verse with humour and fun. I enjoyed the "discard bin" and his spreadsheets distracting him from his duties to the "poor soul." But it was all excellently presented with striking image. Thanks for sharing, Debbie

Comment from Diana Harris
I enjoyed the humor in your poem, as well as the visual imagery. I wondered what happens if the software crashes. I look forward to reading more of your work.

Thanks, Diana. There is a company called Prayers "R" Us that God uses when He has problems.

Fantastic, I love this. God knows more about computers than I do, as it should be. I know where my next email is going to! I love the excellent rhyming in your poem, thanks for sharing.:)

Comment from hassan nasrallah
haha Bruce Almighty had a scene where Jim Carrey had to organize the prayers that he received. I believe he first started with post-its though. This is a creative and entertaining piece that offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between God and humanity. Great post!

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
hahaha... imagining God has an excel spreadsheet to keep of prayer requests is really funny. I always thought it would be hard to hear all the prayers. Good job with the rhyming poem.

Thanks, Gypsy. He also may have an angel that screens prayers.
