Waste not, want not.  In this time of scarcity, anxiety and making do, I recently felt compelled to use something I have in abundance.  I bet you have it, too.  That's right.  Spam.  And not the kind that comes from Hormel.

Maybe I have too much time to think, or maybe some of the hilarious subject lines I've received just finally got to me, but for the past few weeks I've been collecting the best.  When someone asked "Is your skills about to expired?"  I decided to see.  I never had much skill as a poet, but I decided to find out if what little I once possessed has indeed expired.  You be the judge.

So here goes. I've made the best of my collection into a poem.  These are all genuine subject lines, but I'll confess to adding a conjunction and punctuation.  I shudder to think what some of them were promoting, but the actual emails remain a mystery. 

If you're feeling creative, you, too, could give this a try.  After all, this is a "use what you have" time in our history.  Although one of these lines is a bit "iffy", I've tried to avoid what seem to be obvious attempts to sell Viagra or worse.  You try that, too.

And without further ado? 

IS YOUR SKILLS ABOUT TO EXPIRED?
