They say you are foolish for wanting the sun,
Say that you're selfish for learning to run.
They tell you that the darkness is a blessing in disguise
For you never have to notice if you're sighted or you're blind
And they'll do their best to keep you from the light.

--"From Me to You" by Janis Ian

Nine times out of ten

I've got spurs that jingle-jangle-jingle,
As I go riding merrily along.
And they say, "Now ain't you glad you're single,"
And that song ain't so very far from wrong.
Sing that song.

--From an album of cowboys songs that my parents had.
