We get too many emails, don't you think?
I don't mean "Please increase your penis size"
Or "Send your bank account so I can sink
A billion dollars in it as a prize."
I mean real email that we ought to read
And theoretically should care about.
A listserv or a website that we need
Will still send emails we could do without,
And in that stream of almost-not-quite spam
A message may so easily get lost;
We're overwhelmed (at least I know I am)
And though the email's free, there's still a cost
To our attentiveness. Therefore we flail
Within the deluge of unread email.
