spam poetry

I’ve been noticing lately that an awful lot of the spam I get consists not of enticements to enlarge body parts that my combination of chromosomes excludes me from possessing, but random strings of words, as if someone just copied the results of the magnetic words combinations on their fridge after a particularly wild party. And I’v begun reading these strings of random words, because, apparently, I have nothing better to do with my time. Sometimes they are quite interesting combinations, too. So I’ve decided to copy them and make them my own, in poetry format, not unlike Marcel Duchamp and his urinal. The rules will be thus:

• The title will always be the subject line in the spam mail
• I can break lines whereever I please to create associated words strings
• I cannot change, remove, or add words
• I cannot add punctuation or capitalization that doesn’t already exist
• I will give partial author credit to the sender of the spam
• I am eligible for poet laureate status as a result, because this is art

So without further ado, my first spam poem:
