Via [livejournal.com profile] misia: poetry based on "nigerian letter" spam, at nielsenhayden.com. I really like the William Carlos Williams parody, and the double dactyl.

I actually wrote a double dactyl in college, for an assignment:


Lickety-splickety
[innocent's name withheld]
with girl and honey
went into the stacks.

When he came out again
(honey jars empty), he
celebratorily
zipped up his slacks.

It's based on an actual event -- an ex-boyfriend who showed up at dinner one night bragging about his exploits in the library, flashing the hickeys on his stomach as proof of his story.
