THE CITY PLANNING SONG

WHEN I WENT TO THE SCHOOL OF PLANNING RESEARCH I’D AN APETITE FRESH AND HEARTYI HAD VISIONS OF MAKING OUR CITIES GROW BOTH COMMODIOUSLY AND ARTYI SOON WAS CONFRONTED WITH STATISTICAL ANALYSIS, PARKING STUDIES AND SO-OH-SEE-EE-OLOGYBUT NEVER DID I EVER GET TO DRAW A LINE IN THE WHOLE CITY PLANNING COLLEGEE!

--NO NEVER DID HE EVER GET TO DRAW A LINE IN THE WHOLE CITY PLANNING COLLEGEE!

I WALKED UPTOWN AND DOWN FOR A YEAR COUNTING CARS AT INTER-SEC-TIONSAND I MADE A CHART WITH ZIP-A-TONE; STATISTICAL PER-FEC-TION!I ATTEMPTED A PLAN BUT THEY SAID, NO WAIT, ALAS, FORSOOTH, YOU ARE NOT READ-Y!YOU MUST FIRST CALCULATE, ANALYZE AND COMPRISE MORE NONSENSICAL, IRRELEVANT DATA!

--YOU MUST FIRST CALCULATE, ANALYZE AND COMPRISE MORE NONSENSICAL IRRELEVANT DATA!

SO I STAYED I THE BASEMENT FOR ANOTHER YEAR FILLING UP THE CAL-CU-LA-TOR.THERE WERE JOBLESS AND HOMELESS AND DOGLESS AND BONELESS…, AND SOME WITH NO RE-FRIG-ER-A-TOR.BUT THEY ALL HAD A NUMBER BUT NEVER A NAME, NOR A FACE FOR I-DEN-TI-FI-CA-TION;AND THEY ALL HAD A CHICKEN IN EVERY POT, PER-FEC-TION OF STANDARD-I-ZA-TION!

--AND THEY ALL HAD A CHICKEN IN EVERY POT, PER-FEC-TION OF STANDARD-I-ZA-TION!

WHEN I WENT ONE DAY TO COLLECT MY MAIL IN THE OFFICE OF ARCHI-TEC-TURE,I SAW ON THE WALLS ELEVATIONS AND PLANS AND AERIAL PERSPECTURE.THERE WERE PLANS, THERE WERE SCHEMES, THERE WERE COLUMNS, THERE WERE BEAMS…, SPACE-TIME AND INTERPENETRATION;AND THE LUCKIER, MORE PRECOCIOUS ONES EVEN DETAILED THE FENESTRATION!

--AND THE LUCKIER, MORE PRECOCIOUS ONES EVEN DETAILED THE FENESTRATION

SO I WENT TO THE DEAN AND I SAID, “LOOK HERE! I WANT TO DESIGN THE CI-TY!”HE SAID COLIN AND WERNER ARE TEACHING THAT STUFF AND THEIR BOYS DRAW IT UP REAL PRET-TY!”IT’S CALLED URBAN DESIGN; IT’LL TAKE TWO MORE YEARS; IT WILL COST YOU EIGHT THOUSAND MORE DOLLAGEE!!!SO I SIGNED THE PAPER AND NOW I AM FREE OF THE WHOLE CITY PLANNING COLLEGEE!

--SO HE SIGNED THE PAPER AND NOW HE IS FREE OF THE WHOLE CITY PLANNING COLLEGEE!!!
