  • The Potted Meat Museum and Spam-ku

    Spam-ku Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam etc. All you Monty Python fans can supply the rest of the lyrics and I apologize for even bringing it up (sick pun intended), but I was goaded by…

    Donna’s link of the day, the Potted Meat Museum, characterized as “the world’s largest & most diverse canned meat collection.” I’m not sure what to make of the Kerry-Edwards T-shirt for dogs.

    Anyway, browsing around on the museum web, wondering whether I could swipe a pic of SPAM without violating seven kinds of copyright law, I also found a link to the SPAM Haiku (or Spam-ku) archive (at MIT, no less). So that makes it poetry related and kosher for this page. You will also find Spam sonnets (Sponnets), Spam limericks (or Spamericks) and other nonsense apparently hosted by John Y. N. Cho, Ph.D.

    A random Spamku by John Mitchell for your Friday reading pleasure:

    Perfection uncanned
    Like a beautiful redhead
    Fresh from her trailer

  • The eastern horizon glows like the embers of a sacred fire. Chattering songbirds call for day. To the south, a dove mourns. 18 hrs ago
