This post is just a bit of fun really. Today I got some weird request in the Spam pile. It’s not unusual to get various suggestions about collaborations, but this one was particularly, well, saucy!
Anyway, I thought I’d see what ChatGPT5 made of the challenge to create a poem that would get past the AI sensors’ gaze. Not a bad effort, and thanks to Night Café Studio I also got a decent illustration!! Hope you enjoy it – just for fun.

Beneath the sun in a kitchen tiled,
It’s a dish best served hot and wild.
With saffron dreams and prawns that flirt,
Each grain of rice a golden spurt.
The mussels sigh, the peppers adore,
One taste and you’ll be begging for more.
A simmer, a stir, the passion runs deep,
This is a love you’ll never keep.
For once the pan is clean and bare,
You’ll chase the scent through Spanish air—
Paella’s kiss, so fierce, so rare,
A sizzling, sumptuous love affair.
