What you probably want to look at is something like the Dada Engine:

    http://dev.null.org/dadaengine/

Which is used for the famous Postmodern Essay Generator, as well as
other things.  This uses a technique called "recursive transition
networks"--which seems to amount to about the same thing as Markov
Chains, but since the name is different, probably there is some math
difference too.
