This woman spouts gibberish and claims it’s poetry.

Remember that drool she spewed at Clinton's inauguration? Celebrating America by ranting about medical waste on the beaches. Thanks Maya but we don't need or want anything you have to offer. Try Kenya, they might be interested. Or not.

Maya Angelou Endorses Butterfingers

Maya Angelou.....David Alan Grier

Announcer: And now, Maya Angelou... for “Butterfingers”.

Maya Angelou: The wind. The rain. The fire.

The Butterfinger.

Did the Caveman know your delicious goodness?
Did the Mayan Priest exhalt in your buttery crunchiness?
Did the slothful Mastodon, upon his extinction, declare,
“Don’t lay a finger on my Butterfinger?”

Oh, you finger of butter!
You proud confection!
Sugar brown roasted peanuts,
fructose, glucose, sucrose, lactose,
partially hydrogenated palm kernel oil.
Crispity, crunchity, peanut buttery—

I... give... myself... to... you.

Butterfinger.

Glad mantle of golden chocolaty hope upon my breast.

That “poetry” would be thrown back in a student's face if that student was white. How Maya Angelou is respected by academia is a puzzle to me. She is their darling, gets honorary degrees every year, spouts her stuff that few understand, on to next year.

18 Million “scratches”? I can just hear the screech of the nails on the glass. YUK!

LOL, I thought it was just because I wasn’t enlightened that I didn’t “get” her poetry.
