Stolen from backpackinglite.com forum (I love the last one):

A half-eaten slice.
Ants swarm the cold, greasy plate.
A suicide note.
- anonymous

The ceiling fan turns.
The loaf sweats ominously.
Time is running out.
- anonymous

SPAM glistens pinkly;
Cat taps it with wary paw
To see if it's dead.
- anonymous

Does SPAM contain tongues?
When you eat it, does it taste
you as you taste it?
--Chris Fishel, [email protected]

Leaning to kiss her,
Smelling her breath, I thought of
Love and luncheon loaf.
--Rex Jones, [email protected]

SPAM frying in lard
The whir of the kitchen fan
Summer of my youth
--Linda

Split the SPAM atom
Enormous pink mushroom cloud
World covered in pork
--Tom Elliott, [email protected]

Driving with Ute friends.
Miles of silence pass before,
"Price of SPAM is up."
- anonymous

Formless spawn of pork,
Leers with gelatinous gaze,
Taunting my lean soul.
--William Bradford, [email protected]

If Hormel branched out
With new meat types, we might see
Spicken, Spish, or Speef.
--Tom Elliott, [email protected]

Roseate pork slab
How you quiver on my spork!
Radiant light, gelled.
--L. Sheahen, [email protected]

"A SPAM murder, Holmes?
Whither the murder weapon?"
"Alimentary."
--Ken Zuroski, [email protected]

What a mockery--
Lettuce and fruits surround SPAM.
Why gild the lily?
--L. Sheahen, [email protected]

Eat or be eaten.
With SPAM, you can never be
sure who is winning.
--Ben Hitz, [email protected]

Fuchsia and chartreuse
The breakfast of champions
SPAM and Mountain Dew
--Bill Turner, [email protected]

SPAM SHAM arrested
for "Incitement to Haiku"
and "Contempt of Pork."
--Rory, son of mickman

In Shakespeare's SPAMlet:
Shouts at Ophelia, "Get thee
to a cannery."
--Chris Fishel, [email protected]

Old retired jocks to
star in ads for new SPAM Lite.
"Tastes filling!" "Less great!"
--Bob Roberds, [email protected]

New brand: Chia SPAM.
Meat and greens in every bite.
Hormel, we'd buy it!
--Bruce D. Sidlinger, [email protected]

O'er black bubbling vat,
Snout, ears, feet, and fat. This, that.
Witches cackle, "SPAM!"
--William Routhier, [email protected]

Queasy, greasy SPAM
Slithers without propulsion
Across a white plate.
[email protected]

Patio slime trails
Are not from snails but anxious
SPAMs seeking escape.
--Mike O'Connor (K.M.O'Connor), [email protected]

Churchill on SPAM: "A
riddle wrapped in a myst'ry
wrapped in some pink gel.".
--Chris Fishel, [email protected]

Evita eats a
slab of SPAM, sings "Don't Cry For
Me, Minnesota."

I just about peed myself laughing.... while it's not a Spam-Ku here is my anti-Spam poem in the style of Dr. Seuss

"I will not eat your flavoured SPAM
I will not eat meat from a can
I will not eat it anywhere
I will not eat it here or there
I will not eat it in Algonquin Park
I will not eat it with tea from bark
I will not eat your can of SPAM
I will not eat what you call ham"

spam is a life style -a whole separate culture in a can

lol - elistist... naw - I'm good with things from a can (tuna, clams, corned beef) but there is just something about the texture/taste of Spam that doesn't agree with me. I'm also really picky about my ham - has to be a dry cured ham like real Italian cappicola or the like. My Dad hated Spam too - guess he ate a lot of it during the war and post-war when he returned to Canada.

That said, I have been known to have a bit of my friend Shelley's Spam Chiminchangas on a trip. I should dig up her recipe and post it for you Spam lovers.

Spam in fried rice and Lo Mein is quite normal and quite tasty.
