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..

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