SPAM SPAM SPAM | PFA #342

Kinda like found poems, spam poems come from spam emails where randomly generated words are laid out in the body of the mail. I was compelled enough by the quixotic combinations in these "poems" to put a few into a first collection of spam poems for PFA. A writer at the Sacramento Bee was also fascinated by the weird emails and wrote a story about them, referencing the concept of Thomas Huxley's Monkeys (ahhh, go google it!) Viola, I had a title. (Note: the official --Har! Har!-- designation for this PFA is #342, not #243.)
