Spoetry, Bernard goat

Spam email is a curse for an IT manager. Dealing with unwanted junk is a timely and costly business.

There is, however, fun to be had with all that unwanted rubbish: spoetry. Spoems are poetic verses made from the subject lines of spam e-mail messages.

According to Wikipedia, the end result can be crafted into any literary form the author desires: haiku, concrete, limerick, and so on.

My attempt, 'Hi' (below), takes a fairly simple form. The first verse refers to the problems (or not) of credit - and the temptation of online gambling. The second verse, an angry response to the first verse, shows why credit and gambling are an explosive mix. Erm, I think. Anyway, here it is:



Hi

Hi

Your monthly payments going up

Bad credit not a problem

Play casino online!
