I just received the following note from a friend of mine in Portland.
I thought you might like to make public the keywords used in an interactive advertisement that is currently online for Burger King. The piece features a dancing chicken who responds to statements the viewer submits.
Much more entertaining however is the list of keywords the piece is programmed to recognize, which is also available on the website.
A few highlights:

I think that’s got to be my favorite ad copy ever written. It’s like poetry… I just wish I knew of a Poetry Slam competition taking place tonight. I’d love to stand up and deliver my new work.

I’ve got the children to tend
The clothes to mend
The floor to mop
The food to shop
Then the chicken to fry
The baby to dry
I got company to feed
The garden to weed
I’ve got shirts to press
The tots to dress
The can to be cut
I gotta clean up this hut
Then see about the sick
And the cotton to pick.
Shine on me, sunshine
Rain on me, rain
Fall softly, dewdrops
And cool my brow again.
Storm, blow me from here
With your fiercest wind
Let me float across the sky
‘Til I can rest again.
Fall gently, snowflakes
Cover me with white
Cold icy kisses and
Let me rest tonight.
Sun, rain, curving sky
Mountain, oceans, leaf and stone
Star shine, moon glow
You’re all that I can call my own.

Surely you aren’t suggesting that Maya Angelou has the subservient chicken write her poems.
