letra de burbank, luther (1849-1926) - artichoke
potato seeds
proved to be
how luther found
after he nearly drowned
he was proudly bound
for sound new ground
burbank was his name
and burbank took a train
out here to see what grew
800 strains
re-arranged
seed and graft
800 strains
re-arranged
brand new plant
a thousand sprouts
and cherry trees
he chose to graft the upper half
taste test the best
lose the rest
and start afresh with just these two
burning seemed a shame
but numbers weren’t a game
he used to see what grew
800 strains
re-arranged
seed and graft
800 strains
re-arranged
brand new plant
he saw the need for cattle feed
a thousand tries, [?], to hybridize a cactus with no spines
people came in droves
wandered through the groves
out here to see what grew
800 strains
re-arranged
seed and graft
800 strains
re-arranged
brand new plant
burbank never made it to college
but he read darwin’s “variation of animals and plants under domestication”
and he had a good idea what to do
he sold the rights to his potato for 150 bucks
and moved to california
not burbank, california, by the way
that city was named for a sheep-ranching dentist
800 strains
re-arranged
seed and graft
800 strains
re-arranged
brand new plant
800 strains
re-arranged
seed and graft
800 strains
re-arranged
brand new plant
