MooPig's Homage to the Greats -- Tensegrity or Hyperbolic; that is the question

Roam Home to a Dome
Sung to the tune Home on the Range
by R. Buckminster Fuller

There once was a square with a romantic flare,
Pure Beaux Arts, McKim, Meade and White;
In the mood that ensued he went factory nude
Mies, Gropy, Corbussy and Wright.

Roam home to a dome
Where Georgian and Gothic once stood;
Now chemical bonds alone guard our blondes.
And even the plumbing looks good.

Let architects sing of aesthetics that bring
Rich clients in hordes to their knees.
Just give me a home in a great circle dome
Where the stresses and strains are at ease.

Roam home to a dome
On the crest of a neighboring hill
Where the chores are all done, before they're begun
And eclectic nonsense is nil.

Let modern folks dream of glass boxes with steam
Out along super-burbia way;
Split-levels, split-loans, split breadwinner homes
No down money, lifetime to pay.

Roam home to a dome
No banker would back with a dime,
No mortgage to show, no payments to go,
Where you swell, dream and spend only time.
