                        Spam poetry (just because … )

I've been doing some research on Racter [1], a program that supposedly wrote
The Policeman's Beard Is Half Constructed [2], and I came across a site where
a person used spam titles for poetry.

So today, I opened my spam folder, and lo, there was poetry:

> Two voices were
>  anything to stop
>  homeless as they were
>
> Drew with them,
>  the prisoner glanced
>  time there soared
>
> Starting from sometime
>  into a pool
>  Do you know what is Cailis?
>

Well … the actual subject lines were:

> Re: %RND_UC_CHAR[2-8], two voices were (from Torres Jerald)
>  Re: %RND_UC_CHAR[2-8], anything to stop (from Abraham)
>  Re: %RND_UC_CHAR[2-8], homeless as they (from Montano)
>

So these people had problems running their script, and I added a word to the
last one to make it more poetic, and I love the names of the supposed
senders.

> Re: GFDGSKD, drew with them (from Wilkes)
>  Re: HBJMGLQ, the prisoner glanced (from Chelsea)
>  Re: GRBPLJ, time there soared (Crawford Paula)
>

Crawford Paula must be from the Deep South™.

> Re: WADOZK, starting from sometime (from Cash Araceli)
>  Re: IAKNIE, into a pool (from Cooper)
>  Do You Know What Is -Cialis-? hevzj (from Kitty Jarvis)
>

Actually, I think Crash Araceli is a better sounding name than just Cash.
Kitty Jarvis though, nice, but sounds like a porn starlette.
