Clerihew

Clerihew

American poet Robert Frost,
whose two roads many have never crossed.
Someone taunted him, “You write on subjects”,
“You write bric-a-brac”, said he, with respect.

I like that old fella, too. Very Happy

Just tried to write something funny. But it's not, I know.

good, like it.
Lake is almost known for liking Robert Frost;
if wanting to be closer to that poem,
"whose two roads many have never crossed"
may also be expressed as
whose "Two roads diverged in a" forest Wink

though Frost and forest a little rhyme variation,
but fun for a Clerihew

a copy of that poem for readers;

The Road Not Taken


Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

What a great funny line with that "forest" at the end! Can I steal it, Mark?

Thanks much!

who can argue now stealing is
not a virtue as he stole from a wood
did you trace him into one road
did i catch him in the other
that presentable as a poem's merit

It's not very funny. Some say, I need to be a little bit mean. So this is not mean enough.
