    Sparked by Burgundy Red's current poem predicament, I dug out my old amstrad CPC464 (with built in tape deck) and began programming a poem generator. There's a few flaws obviously, but if somebody needs a poem, give me the following details and I'll see how it goes:

    Who is the poem for (their name preferably)
    something unique about them
    Something you have in common
    The message you wish to convey (love, a proposal, you're chucked etc)
    your bank account information and pin numbers

    RE: Here goes

    Excellent start AIRy thanks.

    Okay it'll be a while until the tape loads up the programme, so give it 20 minutes. Stupidly as part of the loading sequence, I decided to use a particularly complex picture of a 2 dimensional square with the word 'poems' on it, so it takes ages to load it up.

    Anyway in the meantime why not post me a link to your on-line banking service and give me the passwords? It's all part of the complex poem writing process.

    Conchita, conchita, conchita, conchita
    We went to prison for nicking a windcheater*
    I brushed your hairy teeth vigorously, with my rock hard <syntax error; line 110>
    And I'd like to do it again as the wifes away in August

    How's that work then? There was a syntax error on that poem when I posted it.

    I'm literally frightened.

    Now IOWT: much as I approve of the results, in what way is writing a poem generator any less gay than planting strawberries?

    Easy

    It can be used for seducing women, which is obviously my intent.

    No doubt AIRy will be brushing Conchita's teeth come August if he sends her that poem in a card or something.

    Gardening however, impresses noone. Except maybe Michael Flatley.

    Ah, but there are other ways to a woman's heart

    What if Conchita likes strawberries? Perhaps she gets turned on by the feel of the pulp against her teeth.

    Granted, Conchita does sound weird, so maybe you might attract her.

    Some kind of *** hag or something.

    You've got me worried now

    Maybe I am, otherwise wouldn't I be able to put up a better argument? Even if I'm not (and I don't think I am) I'm beginning to wonder whether it would be easier to BECOME gay than to persuade you that I'm not. It's a dilemma, that's for sure.

    Don't know how I'm going to break it to the missus. Maybe you could write me another poem to explain it to her, in the completely un-gay way that you do?

    Give me 30 minutes, I'm off to get my nails done then I'll see what the old Amstrad has to offer.

    For future reference though, I think the heterosexual way of arguing this point would be to offer me outside for a fight or swear a lot.

    OK

    Shoot! Would you like to go outside with me?

    How's that?

    Catch you after your manicure, darling. (2gay)

    I've just cried.  That's the most beautiful thing ever written.  Did you do it in BASIC?
