spam subjects poem

12 Mar

She will love you more than any other man –
just talked to him.
The narcotic analgesics are very similar.

Separate yourself from other men.
Anthony Hopkins
is so familiar.

Are there any precautions and side-effects?

Didn’t understand it;
can’t be a lover anymore.
These girls are all alone.

What did we do to make it happen?

[Addendum: I apologize for not explaining how these are constructed. I go into my spam folder and read through as many subject lines as I can take (roughly 500-1000), choose the ones I find most intriguing, then use each one as a discrete line of the poem, only adding punctuation and line breaks. Try it for yourself. It's fun!]

  • I think we must be on the same spamming lists, do you get those ones where they have copied a verse out of a book or something totally of topic.

    Then at the bottom theres a link to buy viagra.
