Spam Haiku
Checked my Yahoo account today, and thought for a minute I was reading some descendent of Lewis Carroll, or maybe Hugo Ball. Spam seems to be Yahoo’s bread and butter, judging by the amount of it that clogs my inbox every time I log in, but lately it’s taken on an almost poetic, musique concrete quality. The Ali Zapatas and Zenobia Q Titmouses of the world have given us some real gems, reprinted here as poetry (n.b. the typos are theirs, not mine):
pricrot Tort Radmid
Priant Alpher bato spire
Horth Guitchop Botather
balla tee-shail spire
neewrino choodle eray Guit
shutton Pepple Rock
neellid Coffeewrite Feam
figney panail plather cary
eray Shown Torse
And a haiku from yours truly, in closing:
Yahoo spam poets
Destined to be classics, sure
Inbox bloated now
