A Tale in Two Rhymes


Sound your horn and wave Old Glory

For the natal day of Laurie

Anderson, whose music story

Doesn’t fit a category

Where it settles a priori.


To some she is a music god,

They hear her music and applaud,

And leave the concert thrilled and awed,

While others find her whole façade

Outré, outlandish, and, well, odd.
