Semi-Intelligent Poetry

All y'all like those fridge-magnet poems, right? Here's an interesting idea now in development: a computerized version that can be taught rudimentary grammar (good or bad). So instead of "Man fry seven mouse," it will change itself to read "Man fries seven mice" or maybe "Man fried seven mice" or "Men fry seven mice," depending on how it's been taught by your previous word choices. Mmm... fried mice...

And they also hope to have a way for different sets to talk to each other and riff on what the other one says. Pretty soon, you won't have to move the words around at all. Well, except to force a piece to show a random new word. For that, you have to take it off the fridge and shake it.
