Romantic Poetry Generator

Have you ever tried writing a romantic poem?
A 60-year-old computing machine specifically programmed to generate love poetry has been recreated in England: the Manchester Mark I.

Here is an example poem that it randomly generated:

SWEETHEART DEAR
YOU ARE MY WISTFUL ENCHANTMENT. MY DEVOTION SIGHS FOR YOUR AMBITION. MY LONGING LIKES YOUR APPETITE. YOU ARE MY ANXIOUS HUNGER. MY RAPTURE DESIRES YOUR CHARM.
YOURS BEAUTIFULLY
M. U. C.
