Snowball (also called a Chaterism): A poem in which each line is a single word, and each successive word is one letter longer. One of the constrained writing techniques utilised by the Oulipo (Workshop of Potential Literature).
o we all have heard people believe anything
Given the mathematical genesis of the Oulipo and the interest in the movement among other programmers, I thought that someone must have created a program to generate these, and I was surprised that I couldn’t find one even after some pretty thorough Googling. So I wrote one myself. The C++ code is here.
It takes input from a text file which contains novels from Project Gutenberg, scans for word pairs where the second word is longer by one letter, and builds up a poem using Markov chains.

What Are Bots?
Bots are contraptions that humans have set into motion across the Internet.
Bots are engines of whimsy and chaos, who will sometimes try and convince you they can make penises bigger.
Bots are scavengers who bend and glue our cast-off word-garbage into scrapbooks, hoping we’ll be impressed.
Bots are rarely perfect, and that is what makes them human.
"Doggy is a rather difficult to read font-family rendering words as dogs through the OpenType ligature feature. Depending on the length of a word the dog respectively gets longer or shorter. One letter words result in a sitting dog." Among other fonts from Languste: Baguette, Noncept, Alefbet ("a reimagination of the Phoenician alphabet").
