Yet Another Word List.  A web search ought to find it.  I don't think
the pairs would be enough for haiku, though, since most of them consist
of abbreviations, prefixes, obscure placenames and other things that are
not really proper words.  Constructing a meaningful sentence out of
them, even if it didn't have to be grammatically correct, would be hard.
