Songs of Innocence and Spam-erience

"You can hide 'neath your covers and study your spam..." - Springsteen's "Thunder Road"
___

How do you solve
A problem like a spammer?
How do you catch
A cloud and pin it down?
How do you find a word
That describes a spammer?
A flibberti gibbet!
A willo' the wisp!
A pain!

Many a thing you know
You'd like to tell them,
Many a thing they ought
To understand.
But how do you make them stay,
And listen to all you say?
How do you keep a wave
Upon the sand?
Oh, how do you solve
A problem like a spammer?

-- with help from Rodgers and Hammerstein

Domestic habituate pentagon
    couldn't bear the thought
hey
this really worked for me

You can't survive on just a paycheck
    a date is waiting
