I was ready to hate this idea, but the random poems aren't terrible. Wonder what kind of word set it has to draw from.

Also, what a weird way to display the generator. Reload the page every time? Get some ajax in there man! I was all ready to accuse them on wanting inflated page impressions, but then I don't see any ads. Well, unless the BBC gets money for every load.

I think I loaded the site like 10 time.

I was ashamed quickly
By the blush of the publican
Drooping savagely on the lazy girls
On thoughts of horses
Where statues lie proudly
And all the lightgrey birds hang and cover
