about

an anagramm of
“More Than a New Discovery” (Laura Nyro)
- - - - - -
Rave On Meaty Orchids (NEW)

One of our favorite lines in this one (all the lines here, as you may already know, being anagrams of the Laura Nyro album title “More than a New Discovery”) – for it is just such a nice accidental answer to American poet William Carlos Williams’ famous last line of his poem “To Elsie” (the one opening with the smashing “The pure American products go crazy”): “No one / To Witness and adjust / No one to drive the car”) -: “O, ye snowman drive the car?”

10. Rave On Meaty Orchids (New!)

Heaven was into my record
Radio at: “Never chew my son”
Everyman scored a hit now?
Everyone charmed it was on?
Drew once in a heavy storm
Stare down, move yer chain
Why, an over-reaction, meds
Went O.D. over a cryin’ shame

Rave on, meaty orchids, rave on…

Her “Yo, Amen!” was contrived
Whenever Cain’s at my door
Modern owners have a city
Him ever own a candystore?
And V. meets a worryin’ echo
O, ye snowman drive the car?
A chemist warned: “Very Ono!”
Cheney, drown a movie star!
