tom

tom paxton lyric::Lives of quiet desperation.
Fifteen minutes of fame.
Happiness is no laughing matter.
I can stand the pain but not the shame.
You cannot drive straight on a twisting lane.
You cannot step twice into the same river.
To clean the stream, get the hog out of the spring.
Better to discover a single causal connection, than win the throne of persia.
Unplanned growth is a jungle; unfilled plans a treeless plain.
Yogi said more than he knew, or knew more than he said.
The same for transportation; only modes get subsidy.
Forecasts error wildly, and unintended consequences even more.
