The common crane species

  Denver's skyline March of 2016

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them crane's a rollin',

Crane-high

Rain and wind and weather
Hell bent for pleather
Wishin' my spleeth was by my side

All the things I'm missin'
Good vittles, love and kissin'
Are waiting at the end of my pride

 

Move 'em on
(Raise em' up!)

Rasie em' up
(Move 'em on!)
Move 'em on
(Head em' up!)

Crane-hide!

 

Cut 'em out
(Move 'em in!)

Move 'em in
(Cut em' out!)
Cut 'em out
Ride 'em in,

Crane-hide!

 

Keep movin', movin', movin'
Though they're disaprovin'
Keep them doggies movin',

Crane-hide

Don't try to understand 'em
Just raise em up and brand 'em
Soon we'll be livin' high and wide

 

Hats off to Colorado Matters. They actually covered something that matters - to me.

• As Colorado Construction Booms, Experts See No Evidence Of A Bubble

In an interview with Colorado Matters last year, longtime developer and preservationist Dana Crawford said: “Growth and change always brings difficulty. I think that … the cost of living has increased, and the thing that I regret that’s coming with it is an enormous amount of growth of building apartments, rental apartments, and I think so many of them are being constructed from plywood. I say we’re just building a plywood city that 15 years from now isn’t going to hold up.”

No evidence of a boom? There's some Orwellian truth speak if I ever heard it.
