Friends,
Having just received the preceeding in my inbox, I found this roundup of spam-harvested verse quite apposite.

Of course, this message will probably be blocked by your spamfilter.

this is great! mind if i "blog" it?and jascha said:
sure! but the real fun is getting spam poetry from your readers. for instance, with alicia's permission you should run the following too, which is some raw-ass performance poetry that my friend alicia got via unsolicited submission.so i say:

dear jascha,
i love it!!! here is something i got a month or so ago, and saved:
labiated a bowl of bread lasagna and milk night and morning, livraison with
"i connivancy banner-fashioned fairfronted knew
optometric mosaicking "then
can you believe that shit? better than anything i've ever written. it
kills me.
i'd love to run alicia's, too. (just give me the 'go,' alicia.)and jascha goes:
although not in the realm of absurdist spampoetry, one of my favorite spam headlines was this one: "want to see me play with my self?"
just something about that space between "my" and "self" which seemed to make the offer rather enticing actually. yes, i would like to see someone play with their self.

that's hilarious!while alicia responds:
go ahead, by all means... i wish i could take ownership over it, but iso, dear reader, if you too are supremely inspired by the spam poetry above, as well as that collected here, i invite you to share any unsolicited "submissions" that you've received, and enjoyed, in the comment section below.
will have to settle for being supremely inspired by it.

Spam poetry is an overcrowded genre. But what about spam neurophilosophy? Wide open!
Except for this treatises on the "two-point thinking" style which my friend put up on his tragically inactive blog.

Nuff said. You are so good to me eggplant mike.
thanks for the contributions all.
893, good point: i'll have to keep my eye out for emergent spam genres. if my russian were better, i might have noticed some already.
gina, thanks for the link. and my email is no special secret--that's one reason i can appreciate spam poetry. you can always reach me at wayne at, er um, wayneandwax.com. (never mind the "er um" though. or the commas.)
vitriolix- is that a composite? an inspired original? it's almost too rich to be a single spam text. not that i'd be too surprised. soon enough these monkeys will reel off some shakespeare.

wow. that's great. a nice way to carry the meme. glad to see it's out there--and boston-based?!
the internet burps its subconscious come-ons, or something.
"Want to see me play with my self?"
Who wrote that one--Lee Perry?
heh heh. scratch may even have outdone madonna on that score. (not sure though.)
