For fun, I entered it into a website called <a href="http://www.poemofquotes.com/tools/dada.php?c=1">Dada poetry generator</a>. You may be saying, what is Dada? In short, it was an anti-establishment movement in art and writing that began in Europe, after WWI. Read more <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dada">here</a>. One practice of Dada writing was to cut out random words from newspapers and let a poem "fall together". </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Given how much I love randomness, I had to try it. I wondered how a child's poem would read using this method. So, here it is!</div>Over the diddle, spoon fiddle. such The ran cow spoon The the little see dish The The jumped the dog diddle. cow The such ran diddle. The the little dog <div style="text-align: justify;">Ha! Awesome. I think I am going to read this to Liam and have him cut out words and scramble them together. That should keep a 6 year old entertained for quite a while! If any of you decide to try making your own poem, be sure and show it to me:) (Photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mattwalford/3149707753/">Matt Walford</a>)</div></div>
