Gregory -

Funny, I have a vague recollection of that also, but when I did a Sphere search under "Nigeria", no poem emerged - which means it could have been a link.

I did find this old exchange of mine with Kevin Murphy, from a July thread in General Talk (Kevin is speaking of various spam letters on other topics.)

Mrs. Abacha does not exist? There is no $35 million in the Swiss account? No need for a $50,000 temporary deposit to open a "shadow" account? No need for the $4647.87 expenses to prepare and process my funds?

Oh dear.

Hardly a poem, but could this be what you remember?
