You are walking through the prairie when you find a madman wandering around talking to himself. The following is what you manage to hear of his speech:

"How? I - I'll ask her. I owe her much, again. I'd a home on town, a tax as florid as out the coat, a virgin a year. Oh, yodel - aware you take all or I do. Never the road: I'll land in the Anna-Marie land. Main can's a sore gone; tennis is out t'car. Oh, line a canned turkey!"

What is the man really talking about?

    $\begingroup$ I think that was a wise choice taken by @randal'thor , after checking with me. Now , I feel that while I got the "harder" populist badge, the extra points for accepted answer will be "more useful" for QBrute. $\endgroup$
