 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.   
 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
   
 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.
