Spam poetry
May I present a poem I recently receieved in an email from a new friend who I did not know prior. I have taken some liberties in correcting the irreverent grammatical and punctuation. Despite the strides of mr. cummings, I felt that the flavor of the original concept was unfortunately diluted by the (unintentional?) dadaesque stylings of the author, and I have attempted to assist him in capturing the essence of his message with these minor edits. English, after all, is not his first language.

My mother:

Might — with it lies in you, my lord, to bring.
Make such knaveries yours!
