Ode to Spam Email


Oh Spam Email, how I hate thee,

Let me count the ways:

*she takes a deep breath*
Eh, forget it - there's too many to say.

I hate how you clog my inbox fair,
whatever you're selling, I really don't care.

I hate the hope my impatient heart feels
With visions of contracts and multiple book deals.

I hate to open those emails and see
All your spam advertisements. Would you just leave me be!!?

I'm waiting for emails about my life's work,
I don't want your junk mail, you mean, teasing jerks!

When I open my mail, I don't want to see
thirty spam emails staring back at me.

The only emails I care to receive,
Are those that are not from my greatest pet peeve.

So to my spammers, I beg you to refrain,
Just leave me alone, I'm going insane!

  2. Too cute! And I hear ya. Luckily, gmail has a GREAT spam filter, and my emails go into a nice separate email folder.

  4. I have to say that I don't get a lot because I use a Mac, but the few I get are extremely annoying.

  7. This is awesome. You know of course, that the spammers out there will probably start sending you twice as much just for spite :)

  8. LOL no doubt. You know what really kills me though? I have three main email accounts. One, I only use for "professional" purposes. It's the email I give out to agents and publishers and that kind of stuff. The second one is my main email, the one I give to my friends and family and businesses/people that are important to me. The third one is the one I use for ebay and Facebook and MySpace and for when I order things from companies, etc - the one I know will be getting a lot of spam - which, yes, I do. But it's expected, so no biggie.

    But the second runner up - my professional one! The one I don't use every day, the one most people don't have. Drives me nuts!! Especially, as I mentioned, as this is the one that I am anxiously checking for agent and publisher emails. Arghhhhh!!!!!!
