Thick as a brick*
It was January 7th 1972. and the cover was on a newspaper
Inquisitive as it was but the music claimed fame from this caper
It was of this group that made progressive rock to its fame
A flutist, Ian Anderson captured many with its name
The name was from an agricultural pioneer named Jethro Tull
This person made a seed drill in which a horse did pull
Though a sort of tribute to that person the music opened the mind
Open in one's consciousness in this music a different reality to find
Like looking at one's life and seeing from a storybook in rhyme and reason
Some of the songs talked a lot about some of the seasons
But getting back that newspaper cover that did the trick
Was a mild spoofing not to mock known as Thick As A Brick
