The United States Postal Service is set to honor Maya Angelou today in a dedication ceremony for a new postage stamp depicting the legendary author, poet and singer. But there’s one problem: The quotation that accompanies Angelou’s picture on the stamp was apparently not originally written by her.

Affirmative Action Art.
I think that one of the heartfelt verses written about her death would be more appropriate:
Gone from us Maya, we all haz a sad
You were so old with poems so bad
You wrote what you felt which sadly was poo
We miss you already oh my Angelou.
Works for me. :>} And how long did it take to get Audie Murphy on a stamp?
What, the United States Postal Service screwed something up???
Say it ain’t so, Joe!
Apparently?
Either it was written by her or it wasn’t—There’s no middle ground here.
This is the same government that’s in control of your health care now.
Ugh...what a vulgar uncivilized woman, and her poetry is crap too.
Is there any institution, discipline, practice, art, school, city, state etc know to civilized man these perfect voters can’t make foul?
You and dead were on a roll. I particularly liked the St. Trayvon poem:
Trayvon
by Maya Angeloo
I sing of thee Trayvon
Lamented burnt umber crayon
Shoud of stayed at home
and got your lay-on
But you heard the siren song of wet grass
and headed for Seven Elevon.
Zimmerman the triggerman
Big game hunter lay in wait
White hispanic in a panic
Rubberheaded, held your fate.
By punching him, you tried to reason
You cant of known - was black-boy season
Stand your ground, ground and pound,
Frito Bandito shot you down.
A liberal stealing from another person.... has this ever happened before? : )
Perhaps the sponsors of the stamp could not find anything suitable that was actually written by Angelou. Her "poetry" is unimpressive and short of par with other contemporary poets, in my opinion.
Stamps with screw-ups tend to be valuable. This one, for example, is worth a cool three million buckadingdongs:
1. the stamp is now collectable.
2. overrated “poet” status hurts value of misprint stamp.
” Frito Bandito”??? Sorry for ignorance, but is that real?
They are attacking Fraternities that want to have a “ Fiesta” party because its “Racist”, bet then “Frito Bandito”?
No, that is a classic satire poem by Freeper dead. See the link in post 8.
Will Tyrone Green get a stamp when he passes?
Images, by Tyrone Green
Dark and lonely on the summer night.
Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
Watchdog barking - Do he bite?
Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
Slip in his window,
Break his neck!
Then his house
I start to wreck!
Got no reason —
What the heck!
Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
C-I-L-L ...
My land - lord ...
Def!
Thank You! didn’t know that
I never knew that gem was hers!
May need to adjust my low opinion of her.
I thought it was,
Beans, Beans good for your heart
The more you eat the more you fart.....
