The Planimetric Shuffle (Nemser)

T test tried to nudge it, save the city’s crappy budget
Trash it
computer crashed it

Hy-po-th-sis
countin’ all the bees with knees
Need retention
for comprehension

Census data shows as the population grows
diversity don’t happen if the family tree ain’t branchin’
We got dozens
of kissin’ cousins

I can see you understand this more than me
Chi Beta Square should be here should not be there
Getting hectic
Plan-o-metric

(Bridge #1)
Florida ’s book is quite amusing
Creative Class is so confusing
Kunstler’s he’s mad as a hatter
It’s not planning, it’s social chatter

Diplomat, Democrat, aristocrat, bureaucrat
Barking but don’t really bite, no football on my Monday night
It’s amazing
my eyes are glazing

SPSS helps me make a bigger mess
garbage out, garbage in, can’t complete if can’t begin
It’s electric
Plan-o-metrics

SOLO

(Bridge #2)
Takin’ trips, but they’re called classes
go in winter, freeze our asses
Stampin’ passports, crossin’ borders
No McDonalds special orders

Munich , Milan, Delft and Paris
Hoping that they won’t embarrass
In a jam in Amsterdam
Next year off to Vietnam

Won’t find the students snoozin’ but lots of them have started boozin
Class-room in panic, dispositions largely manic
Grades fairly
Dr. Prosperi

Hard to analyze
the planners who philosophize
One say no, one say yes
one say checkers, one say chess.
So eclectic
Plan-o-metric
