I always liked the fact that Zappa slightly misquotes Thomas. It proves that he happened to have the passage memorized and was reciting it off the top of his head. If it had been perfect I would have assumed he was reading it, probably from a note passed up from the audience.

**MORE POETRY, PLEASE!**

Who was it that used to run naked through threads?

That was pretty funny. It always seemed to come right when the stress level of the thread was at its highest point.

Okay, since my brain has basically turned to mush since I got old, who was the poster who used to streak the threads? Iampunha? Is that right? And while we’re at it, who was the one-trick pony who was so obsessed with circumcision?z

note: sadly enough, I can quote anything from any Zappa album ever put out there…including most of the bootlegs. Yeah, I know, pathetic but what the hell.
