Gioachino Rossini composed the William Tell Overture in 1829
I listened to that music Saturday morning as a child
I had no idea back then who composed the music
It was simply a stirring prelude the Lone Ranger
All the kids in my street watched it at the local flea pit cinema
In my adolescent years I binged on Many Python
Hilariously funny sketches about ridiculous subjects
There was one about a restaurant with Spam in every dish
A customer enquired if they had anything without Spam
There followed a singing chorus which repeated the word over and over
I would sing that song at home mostly to annoy my parents
Who would ever have guessed that Spam would become so famous
Its the word used to describe all your unsolicited emails
The ones that show up daily in your inbox
Somebody once used the name to describe them as annoyingly repetitive
Just like the Spam word in that Monty python sketch
I have tried so many ways to reduce my spam emails
Label them as junk or hit the unsubscribe link
They just keep on coming every single day
If you leave them for a few days they seem to grow like mold spores
I wanted to find a way of making the daily spam email delete activity more fun
I briefly thought about trying to recycle them
Collecting them all in a folder and forwarding to somebody else
Perhaps my least favorite politician or an annoying TV personality
But that in itself is too much work
Then I hit on the solution to make email deletion pure nostalgic fun
I now look forward to taking out the email trash daily
First I open a tin of Spam and slice it into bite size squares
Then I play a youtube video of the Loan Ranger
I snack on Spam while listening to the William Tell Overture
Its a race to the finish as I delete my emails at a super fast tempo
I can only win if the Spam and my junk emails are all gone before the end of the music
How creative of you. I love spam but it couldn’t keep up with my emails no matter what I listened to.
