Zappa [Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch]

The eighties recalled in a haze! A friend of mine, Ian Rickard, had this album and I thought it qualified for the quirkiest album name of all time.

Oak wood

strong and firm

shores up that

ship arriving

too late to save

that drowning witch.

Timbers hewn and shaped

into a hull

that sang and prayed

in the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen

where art was pursued, unabashed.

"Gag me with a spoon!"

wrote Moon Unit

as she fawned for

a warlock father,

fell to his charisma.

Ebzen Sauce is in the mix

as all boxes are crushed

and the valley girl

returns to the strip.

I am like so totally down with this!

Ah a Zappa kinda guy then Jacob. I guess I am fascinated by his weird but amazing ideas, They challenge and make strong statements. Many thanks. PS Don't eat yellow snow, if you know what I mean!
