A found poem with Absolutely No poetic merit whatsoever - I got the idea from the Wergle Flomp competition some time ago. The lines are all genuine spam headers I've had since. I just arranged them.
Avoid enhancement pills -
separate yourself from other men.
Your application has been accepted;
become fit and happy again.
immense gains on Frankfurt!
Choose foods that suit you;
say hello to extra pounds.
Our birthday gift to you –
looking for dogs for next Wednesday?
Naked excellent tortoise
I need you, Michelle

There was a certain TV programme where they interviewed a former spammer who appearandly made a fortune.... |

Enjoyed.

I've been back to read this four times and each time it makes me laugh all the more.
What on Earth were they spamming!?!?

The last two lines of the "poem" need to be read aloud, actually ... | Small issue
Written by patterjack (1060 comments posted) 21st November 2007 | When i wrote the epic wondered dominic round about the time of the wergleflop series , I made only one adjustment to the order of the reception, purist that I am 
Since that time my filters have been working well enough to save me from the swamp of rubbish that comes my way.
I don't miss it !
The real joy is to find something in a serious piece of work that leaps out like the Conan Doyle one , but if you ever want an easy doodle , try going to a large anthology of verse and look at the index of first lines .
So often consecutive disparate lines from widely differing poets come together to form a work with an apparent internal logic !
Fun , but not to be overdone .
