In high school, I read a short story about a guy who invented a poetry-writing computer. I thought it was hilarious. My favorite part was that he had to install an egocentric, self-regulating narcissitor, before he could get any good poetry out of it. It was in a text book, and I photo-copied it, but I can't find it anymore.
All I remember was that it was written by a European. Hungarian? Czech? I don't remember.
Does that ring a bell with anybody?
