Spoetry

I don't know about you, but a lot of the e-mail spam I receive includes tons of nonsensical gibberish.  Then it hit me.  It's not gibberish—it's Spoetry.  Now, I almost enjoy deciphering the profound messages embedded deeply within them:

"Hey, Froghopper uranist obstinacy it's epiphany not dote may paulo but standby vicinity !

ensconce some chapel be geography be lise orrose in philippine on bovine ! sial or microjoule it's exclude it saw may chest it manganese

Syndrome in rosemary try baldwin not they're the healey bonze try crumple a sportsmen or infield a westfield notexpeditious or annalen be vishnu or aden some stuck not copolymer the diffractometer the coliseum may puppyish"

*Fingersnaps to the spammers...  *Fingersnaps.

Spoetry?

Interesting coinage. But the "verses" (stanzas?) you quoted didn't scan for me. What meter was the "spoet" using?

Seems closer to prose.

"Spose" or "sprose," perhaps?

I know I can be obtuse, but are you calling me a spammer now? I thought we were friends ;)

Gavin,

You're giving away the punchline! Now please go away. And stop calling me Froghopper.

Brian Eno has been doing a lot of work with a generative computer program to create music.

The randomness of this Spoetry makes me wonder if the spammers are also using somekind of generating software.
