Hello!
Again with my script requests, this time I'm wondering if anybody
has ever felt like writing a shell script that makes it easy to write
rhymes,
poems or just make up funny lines.
http://www.rhymer.com is a great place, but unfortunately it requires
a browser.
Or maybe this is a feature that extends beyond the purpose of shell
scripting,
and that maybe for such I should start looking into languages like Ruby?
Hoping for generous expert advise.
Thank you, peasants and poets :)

Hello,
writing sentences isn't an easy task for a program, because you need
some understanding of the meaning of the sentence and some times a good
grab of the peculiar grammar quirks of a language. Have a look at google
translate to have an example of the results :-D
A rhyming dictionnary should be possible to do, with a database of
syllabes and pronunciation, but you need to fill the database first...
For writing funny sentences, have a look at the "polygen" program: it
writes sentences according to a defined grammar:
http://freshmeat.net/projects/polygen/
I know it has a debian package and works under macosx and windows, so I
don't think there should be problems compiling it under freebsd.
The main site is in italian, though, I haven't found an english version.
