For a bit of whimsy, I posted a program in 1989 to comp.sources.games
that generated sonnets. Might be of interest. You can find it
at ftp.uu.net/usenet/comp.sources.games/volume6/sonnet/part0[12].Z
No funk effete plebian France of stun
Obscure avoirdupois no Job petite
Hysterical success impromptu sun
Recessive friends the stun environ heat
Pronto the pile without beplastered food
Mouthpiece ambitious midrange kernel sponge
Computer jaundiced brushoff fire collude
Machismo epitaph excessive plunge
Romance robotic twilight zone and chirp
Appeal with huge reversion memo fruit
Abhorred cantata foreign frowzy twerp
Intrinsic brilliance jimson footwork cute
Incestuous exemplify of dull
Immense ambitious products hideous null
