Generate a poem, line by line, by changing one word at a time.

A hack for NaPoGenMo 2015, National Poetry Generation Month:

Start from "Hello, world!" (or any two words) and repeatedly replace single a word using a synonym, antonym, rhyme, etc., to make the next line. Uses the Wordnik API.

Example output:

Hello, world!
