Spam Poetry

In their neverending quest to have their missives delivered into your inbox rather than your bulk folder, spammers have hit upon the idea of upping the ratio of non blocker-recognized words by putting random chunks of text in at the bottom of their emails. Some of these are completely random, some look to be passages from books run twice through Babelfish, and some approach actual lucidity. The ones I like best are the ones that sound nearly like blank verse; as though the spammer was both trying to sell a product and work their way through an emotional crisis with a dictionary and a rudimentary grasp of language. I've played fast and loose with the return key, and the occasional capitalization, but other than that these will be printed as I recieved them.
