My first attempt at generated English sentences was while avoiding a middle school poetry assignment. I was just basically selecting nouns and verbs from quickly hand made list of words. It produced: "the duck hit the bus with bike". I was a bit excited it meant something, I was totally disheartened that in addition to 5th grade grammar I was going to need to teach my APPLE II a heck of a lot about what concepts make sense together...
