I'm thinking about doing something silly with the output of my Twitterbots and see where it goes from there.

Second one is going to be based on an extended implementation of Christopher Strachey's 1952 love letters.

Here's one using Strachey's vocabulary:

BELOVED LOVE,

You are my TENDER HEART, my AMOROUS ENTHUSIASM. My ARDOUR LOVES your ARDOUR. My EAGER YEARNING TENDERLY TREASURES your AVID SYMPATHY. You are my SWEET THIRST.

Yours SEDUCTIVELY,

M. U. C.

Here's one using random words from Wordnik:

Close-cropped uprush,

My remanet reorchestrate your Syrians. My kaliyuga enhancing your debaucheries. My prismy arcosolium soundly adzing your freshest chimney-shaft. You are my leaderless marina, my broad-leaved counterproposals.

Yours forgettably,

M. U. C.

Maybe add lots of letters, maybe add more lines in the middle, maybe start with original vocab and slowly move to a random vocab.
