Title: Since there's so much poetry...
Post by PittsburghJoe on Nov 19^th, 2004, 10:00am

Announcer: And now, Maya Angelou... for "Froot Loops".

Maya Angelou: Toucan Sam, you leap on the back of the wind, load stone to assorted fruit flavors, Phoenix of the dawns, one smile. We gave you, Toucan Sam, life. You, Toucan Sam, give us loops of fruit. Fruity loops, Fruit Loopies, swimming in the churning, frothy mother sea of milk, Kellogg's appreciates consumer comments, P. O. Box 221, Battle Creek, Michigan, a prism of fruity color, a cornocopia of over forty fruity tastes. The orange, the apple, the grape, the pomegrante, the quince, the kumkwat, the kiwi, the planitain, the guava...

Announcer: This has been Maya Angelou... for "Froot Loops".

I'll find the other ones and post them here. They were done my David Alan Grier on SNL a few years back, the others are for Butterfinger and Pennzoil. They were hilarious, and Grier's Maya Angelou impression was flawless.

Announcer: And now, Maya Angelou... for Pennzoil motor oil.

[The poet stands in front of Pennzoil logo, holding the product.]

Maya Angelou:
The Pharaoh, the serpentine Nile,
Grecian grottoes marked by eons passing,
Pennzoil.
The choice of champions.
Rick Mears, four-time Indy winner
O! Magic shining ewer of liquid ball bearings
Battling armies of viscosity and thermal breakdown.
Pennzoil! Change oil!
Every five thousand miles.
Keep out of reach of children.
Pennzoil is a registered trademark!
Freedom.

Announcer: This has been Maya Angelou for Pennzoil motor oil.

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.
