Today\u2019s limerick and haiku theme is\u00a0email and\/or spam.\u00a0<\/em>First, my limerick:<\/p>\n

I’m out of the office right now.
\nDo I hate answ’ring email? And how!
\nMissed your missive? I’m glad,
\nSo I won’t say I’m sad.
\nPester some other worker-bee. Ciao!<\/p>\n

And now my three spam-related<\/em> haiku:<\/p>\n

Suffocating spam
\nPours into my computer,
\nDrowning out meaning.<\/p>\n

Virulent spammers
\nTake over my computer,
\nDevouring its core.<\/p>\n

My email pours in,
\nThe meaningful lost,
\nStrangled by spam.<\/p>\n

Now, of course, it\u2019s your<\/strong> turn. Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to write a limerick or haiku (or both) about\u00a0email and\/or spam.<\/em> When you\u2019ve posted your verse, please return\u00a0here and add a direct link to your themed poetry, using Mr. Linky.\u00a0There\u2019s no rush, by the way, because you have a whole week to post it.<\/p>\n
