I’ve set aside my usual time for checking on my email.
\nPenis enlargement… penny stocks… pretending to be female…
\nApparently my gas bill’s ready for an online look,
\nAnd Amazon have managed (finally) to ship my book.
\nAn urban legend warning from some well-intentioned kin:
\nI’ve told them about snopes.com, but still they’re taken in.
\nAn ex-colleague invites me to keep up to date with Plaxo;
\nI never really liked him – kind of glad he got the sack – so…
\nHey, I’m a lotto winner? But I never bought a ticket!
\nI’m sure that link is suspect, so I don’t think I will click it.
\nAn invitation to attend some friend-of-friend’s new play;
\nA mangled Chinese subject that the program can’t display;
\nAnd endless special offers from the online stores I’ve used,
\nWhile the comments section on my blog is once again abused.
\nBut the Reverend Bayes can save me, so I mark it all as spam,
\nAnd with any luck I’ll never see another email scam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
