So, we’ve had a lot of fun using search engines to turn out poems, or poegles. Today I decided to take this approach with Twitter. So I’ve created Poetweets: Poem + Tweet = Poetweet.
Try this one:
A Dozen Things God Said
God said let there be spring in Boston!
God said I’m sorry, is this better?
God Said no.
God said I am who I am.
God said you’re welcome.
God said good job dildo!
God said I answered when the birds chirped.
God said, okay, you can fly, but not gracefully. You are a rodent after all.
God said, ‘Let there be light’ and there was light, but the Electricity Board said He would have to wait until Thursday to be connected.
When God said math, I thought he said bath.
God said so lol.
God said I’ll never fail U, I’ll never 4sake U.

You can search twitter and create your own poetweets at http://search.twitter.com/.
Please, give this a shot and send me some poetweets!
UPDATE: Can’t claim poetweets as my own as there is already http://www.poetweet.com/. Fellow collects little nuggets from Twitter and posts them. Neat site!
