The Spam Dam

One evening, while he checked his mail,

A pop-up yelled, “YOU’VE WON A WHALE!”

Then twenty more began to blink:

“FREE GOLDEN HOOVES! JUST CLICK THIS LINK!”

His horns became a firewall;

He clicked the X and cleared them all.

The screen went quiet. No more scam.

The inbox cheered, “Well played, Ram Dam!”
