 For your greater Spamification, I'm including here some poetry about Spam
which I collected a couple of years back. For some reason it was posted on
alt.angst. Well, I suppose Spam is fairly angstful stuff.

Ode to Spam, a truly Angstful Thing.
-------------------------------------
It is a product of many things,
Of ham and salt and chicken wings,
Grease, slime, rotting flesh,
And everything else in the gruesome mesh.

Spam, oh Spam, we love you so!
What fun it is to watch you grow,
Living, breating, sentient meat,
Other foods cannot compete.

Confined inside your hellish tin,
Across my face, a hellish grin,
With longings for to set you free,
But wary must mere mortals be.

For Spam is not just made to eat,
It can serve as brick for city streets,
As wax for shining spotless cars,
Or fuel for shuttles off to Mars.

But by far it's very most useful use,
Is the vomiting it tends to induce,
To rid the soul of evil sin,
And the body of all within.

>Hey, does spam make you fart?  I really wanna know!

Why don't you eat several cans and satisfy your own curiosity.  
And, puhleese let us know.  In the meantime, here's another little ditty.


SPAM, SPAM, That's Who I Am

Who is that coming down the street?
O-o-o, o-o-o, o-o-o, my favorite meat!

Late at night, a tasty treat.
Nothing else could be so sweet.
The thought of it sweeps me off my feet.

And late at night, may I repeat?
My lover rubs it on my teet.
O-o-o, o-o-o, o-o-o, sensation reap.

When mornin' comes, you're still asleep
I popped you in the pan to heat
And then I can eat and eat and eat.

Who's that coming down the street?
Spam, spam, that's who I am.

Gee, was I the originator of the term spamming?  I haven't been reading
this thread for long so I'm not sure if someone else coined it before
I submitted my first Spam poem earlier this week.  I would be thrilled
if I said it first.  :-)



Late at night
When I sleep
I dream of Spam
The elegant meat.

What else can be
So good I ask
Not t-bone steak
or pheasant under glass.

Fish doesn't hold a fin
Nor chicken a wing
To a great big tin
With spam within.

Ham is nice
Pork is good
I want the spice
Spam's both foods!

Deer meat's good taste
Can't take the place
Of Spam without waste,
Made with God's grace.

And so at night
When I sleep
I dream of Spam
The elegant meat.

The First SPAM

The first SPAM the angels did make
Was made of spare meat parts in the form of a cake

A cake so square and sealed in a can
It was the finest creation known to woman or man

In time it became the world's most favorite meat
It was sold to the public and millions did eat

SPAM SPAM SPA-A-A-A-A-A-M
I the holy alternative to just plain ham

I think that I shall never eat
A spam as tasty as raw meat.
And soon, unless I get some heat,
I'll be a frozen, tasty treat.
