Sorry
I didn't tell y'all about my wonderful trip to Vancouver. Not only that, but this is not the time - i'm at work! Where i work, all day.

However, i felt this little bit-o-spam was lyrical enough for a Decemberists song, so i decided to share.
This is Madam ANNA CAMARA,
I am suffering from thurberclosises,
I am writing from the hospital in Cote D'Ivoire,
therefore this mail is very urgent please.

I think the "please" is kinda clunky after the lovely grace of "Madam ANNA CAMERA," "thurberclosises," "Cote D'Ivoire." Any suggestions for an improved final line?

I'm thinking this is the chorus of the song. Maybe the last line changes each time it's repeated?

One of my roommates wrote this limerick

"There once was a young man from Nigeria
Who caught quite a fit of hysteria
Trying to move his cash
Out of the grasp
Of the minister of the interior"

A picture is worth a thousand words. As for a picture of 300 pirates taking public transportation...

Any suggestions for an improved final line?

No, but any hypothetical response should end with "I cannot; I have ham."
