Ode to My Inbox

Does the Spam Ever Stop?

Diane Zoller-Ciatto
My email box is stuffed to the gills

With names never seen before:

Alethia Micha, Valery Youlanda,

Melodi Chelsie and Lucrecia Lorriane.

These people address me by name - with

Offers for Viagra and penis enlargement

To enhance my male member, oh my!

Do they know I am not a man, or do they not care?

Since they send them all the time!

And just in case I am in pain

They offer Codeine and Vicodin.

For ONLY two hundred and nineteen bucks

A thirty day supply will come...

Then I'll be hooked and need much more

To make the pain subside, but all these drugs

Won't be enough to take away the spam.

    LOL, try Gmail. Barely any spam gets through to my account. My inbox needs an ode for the hundreds of emails I have yet to answer...

    Lol I get so much email every day that if I don't check it for a few days, I have to spend about an hour going through them and deleting junk.
