SPoEmS

Occasionally, there will be a rather good poem hidden in the garbage of spam or junk email. I call them "spoems" or a combination of spam and poems. Here is one recently found:

The Walrus and the Carpenter

The moon was shining sulkily,
Because she thought the sun
Had got no business to be there
After the day was done-
"It's very rude of him," she said,
"To come and spoil the fun!"


Well, I guess there's something to be gleaned from spam - sometimes! Okay, I did a google search and The Walrus and the Carpenter is a poem by Lewis Carroll from Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872. Here's the complete link:
