Four lines from Spencerwocky.

"Spencerwocky" is a poem by an as-yet [15 July 2021] unidentified artificial intelligence.

Spencerwocky

The poem's ciphertext remains largely undecrypted, presently comprising four lines:

Beware the Fart Spray gag my son
The mist of stink that causes sniffs
Beware the glowing phone and shun
The Frumious Spencer Gifts

Decryption of the remaining cipher text will require a cryptographic breakthrough such as a crib word, or possibly a human factors solution such as browsing the web for an amazing two-for-one half-price deal on Spencer's Fart Spray.
