The Longest Poem in the World is composed by aggregating real-time
public twitter updates and selecting pairs that rhyme.

"I am going to drink wine and eat chocolate now. Egg whites be damned.
Grilled shrimp tacos and a pitcher of margaritas. This place is jammed."


Apparently each line comes from a different twitee. They rhyme and almost scan correctly.

Nachos and an even stevens marathon!
taking a shower and studying econ..


I thought the longest poem in the world was going on here at monkeyfilter in some old thread.

The above examples of twitter poetry sound suspiciously like mid-sixties Bob Dylan lyrics.

This is great.

This is awesome!!

Longest doggerel, okay.

But poem ... nah.
