Spoetry?

I find the strange word combinations used in spam to be somewhat intriguing, so I thought it would be fun to present them as art.

No work has been altered in any significant way, aside from line breaks and indentation.


Cathleen and Malinda

How mushy and roasted
excerpt tread blandly?
understand exclusion uphold ours.

wasteful expenditure blankly upset.
When dull explosive wake blatantly?

Where Cathleen,
Malinda or they wear,
weave,
wed
and weep?

a eyesight, eyewitness,
fable or face wind bleakly.
an nasty and robust facsimile win wide-eyed.

The greatest Spoem ever?

Cellular Nineteenth Garter

touchy taxi
orographic autonomous abbott
xenophobia

ascent synopsis luncheon
adrenal ruanda intact
vesper culver covert fireside
slither ache consecutive dogbane

All grocery shopping bags contain
at least one French bread
and one bunch of carrots with leafy tops.
You soak your dentures in coffee overnight.

fuses,
deadly gases,
lasers,
buzz saws
and hungry sharks,
all of which will give their captives at least

The buck does funny things when the does are present.

Balding Candidate excused himself
and returned to the office a few minutes later
wearing a headpiece.

You grind your coffee beans in your mouth.

The insurance was invalid
for the invalid.

Candidate announced she hadn't had lunch
and proceeded to eat a hamburger and french fries
in the interview.

You've worn out your third pair of tennis shoes this week.
"Would it be a problem if I'm angry most of the time?"
After a number of injections my jaw got numb.

Poor Mama.

A few years ago, I coined the term spoems, for the mish mash of words spammers put on the back end of emails to fool spam blockers. I haven't posted one in a while, but this one was too awesome to pass up, even though it more essay than poem.

Apparently, someone's using a program where it mines the hell out of random web pages for word combos. Mine comes from Cafe Mama, the owner of a coffee house that caters to parents and their kids (actually, a cool idea).

Here it is (Note: Spoem titles are the subject line of the email):

Tastefully White-Collar

In short, I'm the perfect blogger. It was two weeks ago, and we'd just finished a stressful but fun event at cafe au play's On the Road event at Urban Grind. This was going to be a "where did the horses come from? and I want one so so badly in my neighborhood! Those questioners, as well as those friends and colleagues who hear my shutter click-click-clicking away, are shocked when they discover that my camera is firmly lodged in old media. I visited the AOL office once or twice. And in the meantime, let's remind Portland that we really, really love our sign, and aren't entirely happy when the sign isn't kept in the loop. Really, we've been on the extreme end of the car abuser spectrum. Right there, next to me, was an interesting-looking headline on the Portland Tribune. cook a dish from an ill-used cookbook . But I was working nearby and a colleague got her photos developed there - I thought, why not try? I think I don't sound entirely dumb. I've been accumulating a delightful collection of child's helmets at garage sales, but I had to fit them to heads and find the missing set of straps. I bought it used at Blue Moon Camera, a photo shop in St. we both woke up from our prodigious naps. The rings were put in about a century ago when carriages and buggies and other horse-drawn conveyances clogged the streets of Portland. I blamed it on the terror of almost-birth and was happy when he followed up with the neighborhood association. Not so much the day previous, when I'd had to drag him, kicking and shrieking and throwing bark dust in my face, from the play structure at Laurelhurst Park to the bus stop a block away. By the time I boarded the airplane and finished the Wall Street Journal I was a little frantic. go somewhere I've never gone. She's due in October, and the mamas and I are planning a knitting event for her." And that felt truly authentic. But I was working nearby and a colleague got her photos developed there - I thought, why not try? the route I'd travelled hundreds upon hundreds of times. My organizing principal: in a world of matching mother-daughter capri pants, I've learned to celebrate the beauty of the boy.

But I feel inauthentic.

But I know it's not going to be easy. The real reason I love it so much is that I'm reconnecting with my city. We spoke briefly but I failed to make a date with him. I even lauded his communication ability. I love getting up and getting on my bike to go to a meeting, riding past people watering their lawns and painting their houses and running and, of course, driving their cars. " I want to call it "boy" and feature some of the exuberant silly brilliant tortured emotions I see on the faces of my boys, and the ones I know. I'll be asking, hey, what's up with our sign?
