August 23 - Malvina Reynolds (The Musical Birthday Series)

Malvina Reynolds (23 August 1900 – 17 March 1978) was a folk-singer and political activist.

Malvina Reynolds and Her Boxes

Suburbia for blocks and blocks is

  What Malvina saw,

And so she sang of little boxes

  Flaw by flaw by flaw.

But yet her fans, the paradox is,

   Were ticky tack bourgeois.
