I don't know that this is truly a "randomly generated poem" as the source material was selected and selected from. Generally, when a poem (or part of the poem anyway) is constructed out of stuff that one has not written themselves, it's called a "found poem". People have differing opinions of the merits of found poetry, but personally I think it's as valid as anything else.

The ending is nice.
