More poetry from Nugat Miser

This neo-Chekovian epic came from my new friend "Nugat Miser" interspersed amidst an offer to enhance both my prowess and my stock returns:

A bit of Googling of the proper names leads me to suspect that this is a word-based dissociated press transformation applied to the text of Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita (or possibly a review of it).

"The algorithm starts by printing any N consecutive words... in the text. Then at every step it searches for any random occurrence in the original text of the last N words... already printed and then prints the next word... EMACS has a handy command for this."

Interesting how a seeming random transformation still makes (some) sense. Postmodernism triumphant!

He's Mister Nugat miser,
He's Mister Spam,
He's Mister Vi-agra,
He's Mister Nigerian Scam,
They call him Nugat Miser,
On him we depend
For spam to send
And you can't defend!
