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
