ginza street! Pseudo-flarf??? What is flarf?

ginza street!

... you can see their famous apple mark on
any premium dog food. The crunchy
crow and a stuffed crow to perch on the top,
Grizzly bears and wolves fight(ing) for resources.
For his two-wheeled creation, he turned to
cover the entire space. The corners,
answering female, in a separate opaque
neighborhood of Tokyo, breakfast on garbage,
(that) segment of the Triangle Expressway,
Bear Made Biscuits‎, 250 George Town Rd.

The lines are from googling:

apple (map) line 1 [Ginza, Japan]
ginza (news) line 8 [news about aggressive crows]
crow (shopping) line 3 [replica of a lamp]
lamp (scholar) line 7 [research on animals]
wooden (images) line 5 [wooden bicycle made from beech]
gamut (web) line 6 [computer monitor]
triangle (news) line 9 [contract for North Carolina highway]
authority (shopping) line 2 [dog biscuits]
biscuits (maps) line 10 [a place in Tasmania, Australia]
bear (video) line 4 [National Geographic video on Yellowstone]

The process: Started with the word apple, found the word ginza in the lines, googled that, found the word crow... et cetera.

This was all done on-line (as opposed to my trusty notepad). The lines were then pruned to approximately 10 syllables. Then arranged to make as much sense (or nonsense) as possible (parentheses = words added).

Is this flarfy? True flarf would be edited further I suppose. So I'll just call this pseudo-flarf and be done with it!

I guess true flarf (old-time original flarf) would be:

Af teranen glishcoun tryrain

Argh, shit
                   Queen Scarlett's daughter
peed
         carrots and purply turnips
pimply siss
if... if...
                   you ask the #$%^& ducky postman
who delivered
Sisyphus from Perez Plastered-Paris Hilton,
eternal-framed now somewhere
                   in that slam damn Louvered Psycho-pffft.

I won't EVEN number this one... well maybe [166.159] just for shits and giggles. Apologies to ducks and queens and the much-maligned French.

The article on flarf I just read today in Poets & Writers:

Kenneth Goldsmith's (University of Buffalo) article on the relationship between flarf and ConPo?
