I think it was a surrealist poet that Melly recited. The thing is, though,
that like the question about whether cows prefer Mozart or Johnny Cash, it
turns out that cows prefer 'soothing' music to 'animated' music while giving
milk, and the genre doesn't matter in the slightest; it was not so much the
poem that Melly recited as Melly reciting it that had the effect, more than
likely.
