Well, it's not as if I actually wrote it. But googlebot is an official member of the site...

There's a twitter account that tweets them. But this (accidental) one is better than most I've seen.

You know me, Ros - I'm not one to follow the crowd. But sometimes you just have to.

Like now. And I agree. Brilliant!

The text of the 'poem' itself is almost beside the point. It's the idea that makes it. And that's creative, amusing and - in its own way - meaningful. Poetry, in fact.

Cheers

That latest one is like a survivalist version of Little House on the Prairie. But maybe that always was survivalist anyway.

Fun stuff, Ros. This might be classed as computer-written poetry.

All the best
