Well folks, you've heard Mr. Frosts' fine poem
about two paths and the one he took
When I was young I meandered home
long way around through the woodsy loam
where I conversed with the babbling brooks

Though which of us used to babble most
I'll leave up to you good folks to guess
as I am not ever prone to boast
that I would seem an immodest host
I go for laughs, nothing more or less

But I digress, as a babbling fool,
back to our talk of divergent paths
knee deep I stand in the ol' gene pool
somewhat possessed of the poets' tools
It's true, I swear, 'cause I've done the math

And as for which of those paths I took
you'll not see poems such as Frosts' or Plaths'
I'd rather say "Hah, I made you look"
and not be read just like one more book
but as one who took the "Psycho" path

suthern,
Thanks gal, lol, but I still ain't tellin', nope, uh-uh.
Doc

Alison,
Thanks, I've always been impressed with Frosts' use of this particular form, and being that it is probably one of his best known works, I tried not to murder it too bad, lol.
