Such efficient results on these public-private partnerships,

But honestly, by the time that light rail opens their first door,

A subway will be needed to handle the growth of ridership.

And looking to the next mega project,

I’m sure a train of high-speed routing,

Will be good profit for private gloating,

Always needing overfeed middlemen.

And someday, looking back upon this era, we shall mockingly recall,

'Remember when governments forgot how to build anything at all?'
