A Try at Spam Poetry

SatireWire, in its heyday and before it shut down, once ran a spam poetry contest. Inspired by my recent post, I decided to adhere to their rules and create poetry strictly out of spam messages. I came up with the following:

Quoth the raven,
“Keep your motor running dude as you’re into a surprise.
The service was great not to mention what I saved
Like Kings we lose the Conquests gain’d before,
which is now just above actual manufactures cost.”

Then he said “Good-night!” and with muffled oar
is immediately shipped by Fed-Ex straight to your door.

Okay, so it’s not great, but it’s an attempt with a very small number of spam e-mails in my Caught Spam section of Evolution. I’ll probably try again sometime with a larger pool of e-mails. I encourage others to try it, post it in their blogs, and send a trackback ping to this post!
