Spam Poetry Challenge (ergh!)

[annaswirls]

I have read some clever poems about SPAM. If you have seen any, you might want to ad them here, but really I was looking at these, and thought it might be a brain challenge to attempt to force an analogy out of these sample subjects:

I remember a teacher who gave the kids an assignment, how is a revolution like an elephant... forced them to think about what a revolution was, etc. Like, revolution is like an elephant, has a lot of inertia, hard to get it going, but once it is moving fast, watch out etc. I thought of that while cleaning the spam from my submission inbox (what a mess, thousands of promises all false!)

You think you can work with one of these? I am thinking it is like the SAT verbals-- analogy section. I will try to do some, I am seriously avoiding getting the fall issue done. Among other things. But at least my mailbox is clean and these are fun, besides my Hell Challenge is going over like a lead balloon, or as spam would say

Hell challenge, wood nightshade



Your money, moor blackbird

Your health, nine-jointed

Your money, night-blooming

Your money, mink frog

Your future, Non-malayan

Better Future, wound-inflicting

Life, well-divined

Your cash, open-shelved

Your future, ox warble

Your health, nitrogen equilibrium

Your health, part owner

Your future., hedge apple

Fun, six-spined

Your family, wood-sheathed

Your wealth, false wheat

Some good ol' spam, spam, spam, wonderful spam.

Exactly!!!

pearl bearing
sums it up perfectly

Hey Anna, this is an older Spam-a-lot I did back in June, but it seems to go with your headers.

Your future, pearl bearing

wrapped in the cotton spam
of everyday offers, things pulled
from my past letters
like chicken from bones,

the bigger phallus, the better
o, the girls, girls, girls;
my tongue is thick with it.

anything to get me to open you,
to be infected, to be enticed
by the addiction of want,

of wanting, of easy wins
and large bank rolls. all headers point
to my future, your future,
pearl bearing.
